Allright.
So my honeybunny and I are having an argument about cell phones sold worldwide.

We both say that Nokia is number one but she is trying to tell me that worldwide Samsung is number 2 which i highly doubt.

her brother works at samsung in the hand phone division and this is what they are being told but I told her that they are lying to him.

Can somebody help me out with a link that shows what companies sold how many cell phones in the last year or so.

Corrected... although not conclusive.

This puts them at number three 3Q 2003.

I heard they were number 2 during some month or defined period though.

Economic stats are so skewed.

Are we talking units or dollar volume? Last I checked they were #3 for units and #2 for dollars.

You might have to share the pizza.

It was the number sold.

My bet is Samsung will soon be 2 with them penetrating the Indian and Chinese markets.

Also LG to roar into the top 4 as well.

nokia's got GSM....while i think both samsung and LG will increase their market share. i don't know if they can knock off nokia, but they should be improving on their numbers shipped.

i've never been a big nokia fan...
