Comments on: Mobile Phone Sales Decline While Smartphones Continue Growth
Gartner has released their latest quarterly report on worldwide mobile phone sales. iIn the first quarter of 2009 worldwide mobile phone sales totalled 269.1 million units, a 8.6 per cent decrease from the first quarter of 2008. Smartphone sales surpassed 36.4 million units, a 12.7 per cent increase from the same period last year.
"Much of the smartphone growth during the first quarter of 2009 was driven by touchscreen products, both in midtier and high-end devices," said Roberta Cozza, principal analyst at Gartner, based in Egham, UK. "'Touch for the sake of touch' was enough of a driver in the midtier space, but tighter integration with applications and services around music, mobile e-mail, and Internet browsing made the difference at the high end of the market."
