Regarding estimates of 230 million handsets shipments by year 2000.
I felt estimates were high also but an April 17, Reuters news release about Nokia stated that the annual replacement rate for handsets in Sweden is 50%. (This means one of every two buyers of a mobile phone in Sweden is purchasing another handset within the first year of purchase. The rate in Denmark is currently around 30%.)
You can be sure the handset estimates take this into account but it does not say why the replacement rate is so high.
