I find it a little odd that VOD would so publicly blast their largest supplier. I knew the relationship was rocky but it must be even worse than I imagined. in.tech.yahoo.com Vodafone says own handset sales outpace Nokia - paper Click to enlarge photo HELSINKI (Reuters) - British mobile phone giant Vodafone's own-branded handsets have sold better than those of market leader Nokia and the Finnish tech giant can expect to lose more ground to competitors among Vodafone clients, Finland's Kauppalehti business daily reported on Monday. Currently around 40 percent of Vodafone clients use Nokia handsets, but that will likely fall in the next few years, Vodafone Chief Executive Christopher Gent said in an interview with the newspaper. He said Vodafone-branded handsets made by Japan's third-largest mobile phone maker Sharp Corp. are "flying off the shelves" and outstripping sales of Nokia's phones. "It is highly unlikely that four years from now Nokia's share of our mobile phone sales will be close to 40 percent. A number of handset makers have come to the market and they are eating Nokia's market share," Gent said. Sharp announced last October it would ship 400,000 camera phones to Vodafone in a bid to take its domestic success overseas. Gent also said Vodafone will at the end of this year complete construction of a UK network for providing third-generation mobile phone services which would become available to clients next year or in 2005. Vodafone's financing of the network this year is around three billion euros ($3.36 billion) and next year some four billion.
