Nokia/Motorola share half of mobile phone market
Gartner:
Nokia increased its market share (29.6% to 31.9%). Motorola did too (15.7% to 17.9%).
"All the regions recorded growth this quarter, apart from Japan,"
"The healthy performance was mainly due to strong demand for handsets in emerging markets such as China, India, Bangladesh and Vietnam," said Ann Liang, a Gartner analyst based in Taiwan.
Both Nokia and Motorola are well prepared to handle low-cost phones. Oddly local players haven't had that much success. Some claim it's because customers want known and high-status brands.
