3Q09 Handset/Smartphone Performance Summary

November 12, 2009

Strong Sell Through in the Third Quarter, and a Good Holiday Season Will Result in 2009 Sales Being Flat over 2008 | www.gartner.com

Overall, the handset market was flat in 3Q09. The Smartphone segment was up 13%. Apple continues to gain in market share, threatening to overtake RIM (Blackberry). Nokia continues a downward spiral, but remains the market share leader (over 35% in overall handset and Smartphone categories). Samsung and LG are advancing.

Here Come the Droids! A brief review of Verizon Wireless' new Droid line-up.

November 11, 2009

Droid launch draws tech-savvy crowd to Verizon stores | www.computerworld.com

According to estimates, Verizon is to have sold through roughly half their 200K inventory of Droids this past weekend. I believe that Google app users who do light browsing, photos, and heavy media play will probably be very happy with either Droid. Both displays are very good quality for video. I predict that Verizon will continue to do well with their initial line-up of Droids. I don't think anyone envisioned either of these Droids as being iPhone killers but they have been respectable sellers coming out of the gate.

Unlikely Bedfellows

September 24, 2009

T-Mobile USA in talks with Clearwire, MetroPCS | www.telecompaper.com

It is unlikely that Clearwire will engage in such a deal with T-Mobile and even more unlikely is a DT-Sprint deal on T-Mobile.

Android, Motorola, and AT&T

August 27, 2009

Has AT&T Bailed on Motorola’s Android Phones? | digitaldaily.allthingsd.com

Android phones are off-strategy for AT&T. The other carriers need them to combat iPhone. As long as AT&T has exclusivity on that iPhone, that's where the focus is. And, why not?

Smartphone Market Summary & Predictions

August 12, 2009

Apple impresses as smartphone sales grow | www.infoworld.com

While overall sales of mobile phones declined during 1H09, sales of Smartphones increased 27% during 2Q09. This increase is expected to continue through the remainder of 2009 and into 2010. Within the past year, the astounding growth in the Smartphone area has come from Apple's iPhone. In 2Q08, iPhone held only a 2.8% share of the Smartphone market. In 2Q09, Apple held 13.8%*.
