Well, the numbers are in and Q2's proved to be a mixed bag for the mobile market. According to
IDC,
cellphone makers shipped a total of 365.4 million units last quarter, a
year-over-year increase of 11.3 percent. Nokia, while still the world's
largest handset maker, suffered a significant blow, with shipments
dropping from 111.1 million in Q2 2010 to 88.5 million; the company's
market share was similarly down, hitting 24.2 percent, compared to last
year's 33.8 percent. LG Electronics was the only other manufacturer to
see a loss, with shipments dropping to 24.8 million from 30.6 million in
2010. Apple managed to maintain its
recently acquired
number four spot, with iPhone shipments hitting 20.3 million, up
year-over-year from 8.4 million. RIM was conspicuously missing from the
top five lineup, while ZTE landed the number five position. In news that
shouldn't surprise anyone with a pulse, the feature phone market saw a
decline this year, surprisingly its first since Q3 2009. If you're
jonesing for more market share and shipping stats, hop on past the break
for the full PR.
