Sales: WiFi and the Dual-mode Phone
I see that one of my analyst peers has released a report on WiFi phone shipments. Always tricky to interpret actual data from a press release, as it never has the full set of definitions / assumptions, but I’m scratching my head about a couple of things.
“Samsung leads in dual-mode WiFi/cellular handset revenue market share, followed by Nokia (NOK)”
This seems unlikely, unless it specifically excludes smartphones from the definition of “handset.” Nokia announced in its results last week that “The Eseries sold almost two million units since its introduction in the second quarter 2006.” – presumably accounting for a fairly large chunk of the total €1bn sales of its Enterprise business unit.
