Nokia continues to dominate the mobile market

First quarter statistics.

In the first quarter of 2008, around 296,1 million mobile phones were sold worldwide. This represents a drop of 11,6% compared to the last quarter of 2007 (330,8 million), which was "doped up" by Christmas shopping.

Nokia devices are still the best-selling, with Samsung in second place and Motorola in third place. In the wake of the Finnish-Korean-American triumvirate, LG and Sony Ericsson are lohol.
