Mobile phone's shipments of First Q of this year reaches over 370 million:

Top Five Mobile phone shipments:


   This year  reached about 371.8 million in  first quarter of this year and the most important thing is that  the top five phone manufacturers haven't changed, other phone makers have managed to squeeze out the most of the situation and gain market share, according to data from market analysts IDC.

 The big five position is  still headed by Nokia, which managed to sell 108.5 million handsets, translating into a 29.2% market share, down from 34.7% in the same period last year, and the  Samsung is  second-largest phone maker, with a total of 70 million handsets or 18.8% of the market, a healthy grow over the 64.3 million units the company shipped in the first quarter of 2010.

 Only loser is LG Electronics in the top five phone makers ranking which is third with 24.5 million shipped phones, or 6.6% share, down from 27.1 million in Q1 2010. It's also trailed by Apple, which managed to push 18.7 million iPhones in the quarter and capture a 5.0% share, but the company is the only one represented exclusively with high-end devices. ZTE is also showing growth with 15.1 million shipped handsets granting the Chinese company a global share of 4.1%.

 Other manufacturers have grown their share also , and we would look for the reason in Nokia's transition plan, which seems to have opened a lot of opportunities for other companies.
