Nokia Dominates Top-10 Handset Sales Chart
Nokia has dominated a top-10 chart of mobile phones sold during the 3rd quarter by RCS, an electronics goods wholesaler.
The list of the top ten traded stocks (below) indicates that Nokia increased its lead of market share from five of the top ten in Q2 to seven of the top ten in Q3. In addition, Nokia held onto the top spot with the Nokia 5130 ranking first this quarter, compared to the N95, last quarter.
The number two spot was captured by Samsung's S5230, which did not appear in the top ten last quarter.
RIM's Blackberry Curve 8520 placed ninth on the list in Q3, replacing the Blackberry Javelin Curve 8900 (4th) and BlackBerry (Javelin) Curve 8900 (6th) in Q2.
Noticeably absent from the top ten this quarter is Apple's iPhone, which ranked fifth in Q2.
"During this past quarter, RCS continued to exceed its sales goals due in part to the introduction of so many new Smartphone models and the high demand for them in the open market," said RCS CCO Dina Neeman. "During the past quarter, Nokia announced that it was reducing its manufacturing production, and according to our trading data, we anticipate that this will result in increased demand for Smartphones of other manufacturers on the open market."
