One should also maybe mention that 2002-4-6 were critical years when the managing, R&D, sales, logistics, marketing of "entry-level" (low "total cost", including networks) and high-end multimedia,etc, etc well-fattened handsets were very much, far diverged, distant from each other. There were even huge differences in basic sillicone technology, 45-65-125 nm (skipping the evolving display technology) Now, when the software and hardware for both product groups, lines have matured, they are not as far from each other as then. Ilmarinen. PS That was what "Wall Street" just could not understand, and still do not understand. OK, the "iPhone" stuff has some important bundled psychotic importance for the USA (GSM-CDMA) market, maybe for Korea too. youtube.com One pill makes you smaller, another one makes you large.. Apple made the iPhone so flat it is extremely tough to change the lousy, underweighted battery.

it looks like this is very close to the error in my forrester data. So thanks all. I am going to go through these forrester numbers though - there are some interesting mkt share breakdowns here (by AGE, REGION etc) that you can't get from any free service. I would like to know what % of smart phones are sold by age. Once smart phones were the realm of knowledge workers. What you want are teenagers to take hold. Forrester has numbers like that broken out by vendor but I need to find them in the mess of statistics here.
