Mobile phone statistics by mobref
mobref provides statistics on e.g. manufacturer market shares, application platform version market shares, popular display resolutions etc etc. A good reference when making decisions on what phones and application platforms to support, provided it's trustworthy.
There's no information about how the information has been collected. E.g. the Nokia 6600 is supposed to have a 5.39% market share, which doesn't sound right.

Hi Anders,
May I ask what is your way to find out mobile statistics information, such as TOP 100 mobile in Europe? I know ABI Research has a database for such an information, but it's a commercial one so we need to pay to search. So may I know your way for that?
Yours sincerely,
Charles

Operators now and then post lists of their most sold phones, but that's typically top 5 or top 10 at the most.
Also, for the mobile web, I use statistics from my mobile site to see what phones are used the most. Of course that doesn't say anything about the market as a whole, as some phones are used more for mobile web access than others. I see surprisingly many low-cost phones though.
I can get info from sales of my applications at ClickApps, but as we are not talking larger volumes, the numbers can't be trusted.
I neither have access to any analyst doing charity work. They tend not to :).
Mobref seems like a good reference though, that I will use more in the future.
