"From an investment perspective, the more important number is the total number of handsets sold....Next year should provide the first breakthrough for mobile phones from simply voice communications to a combination modem/PDA/entertainment device."

slacker- I agree with the above. IMVHO, I would guess not next year, but the following. Irregardless the impact would be the same. Incredible sales growth for the suppliers of handsets.

Would you happen to have a url on a current picture of the leaders in handset sales? It would be nice to get numbers on the rankings and a mid-year 2000 update. Here's what I have from an older Wall Street Journal article dated February 11th, 2000.

1. Nokia
2. Motorola
3. Siemens
4. Alcatel

I wasn't quite sure where the handset figures were listed in your referenced GSMWorld url. I could only find subscriber statistics, and not handset sales. Did I miss some detail on their website or were you simply making a general comment about the industry growth? Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
