Wow, 25% is quite large. Bet it's similar in Australia as well. SE's got quite a large user base around here, at least 20%. No stats region specific though.

Yeah, it seems to be doing well in se Asia too. Taiwan is a good market for it. Its surprising because doesn't make any cdma phones for your networks do they?

Well, we don't eally have any CDMA markets anymore. Orange closed down and everyone was forced to join Three. And Telstra (our main landline provider) has CDMA for closure in 2008. Very few people are on CDMA and Telstra is baiting people to join GSM by giving rebates on phones if you hand in your old CDMA one. But now, they're pushing the NextG thing with HSDPA.

But, yeah, GSM and 3G are our major ones.

Considering that 3 years ago SE was working on a loss and today they're doubling profits and the number of handsets released. They definitely are on the right track. Patience, good marketing and excellent products are the key.

I think they've done surprisingly well this year, considering that there were no real technical innovations created by them. Nokia did all the innovating, but SE stuck to consolidating their portfolio with mid range phones.
I guess it has worked to their favour, with the average handset price going up as well, and for Nokia it has gone down.

Next year looks to be even better for SE. Thin phones, more mass market Cybershot phones, good looking phones and there WILL be high end phones!

I'll be interested to see what it'll be like same time next year.

@peterkay
And because they're good looking, thin and they're SE branded, they are going to sell as well.
The Z610 was nice, but it would've sold better if it were 'RAZR' thin. At least SE is catching on.

@shaliron, you are correct these will sell like hot cakes, especially if the features are as good as expected.

It's pretty much clear who SE's gunning for. I for one can't wait! Wonder what the worldwide rankings will look like by the end of next year. SE number 3 maybe?

Well if people Samsung slider begins to lose appeal then might pick up the extra 8% share to take the No 3 spot. I remember reading that they are hoping for double figures soon.

Interesting. The E900 just won't let up. I still see the k800i on top again. Disappointing for the w850i.

to be honest i hoped that the Z610i would've been a better succes because of its design. but maby they sell the wrong color, like here in belgium you can only get the black version.
samsung vs se, i gues we'll be seeing that more often during the next year. will 2007 be the year SE passes samsung?
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA
