Earlier today I wrote about the popular smartphone OSes expected to use the mobile internet and now I noticed a message from IDC on the number of smartphones sold in Western Europe during the last quarter of 2010.
Data from IDC shows that sales of smartpones compared to the same period one year earlier, in Western Europe (including UK, Germany Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy) almost doubled, from 12.8 million in 2009 to 25.6 million in Q4 of 2010.
Nokia is still the leader, but saw its share of smartphone sales are falling sharply, from 46% (5,900,000 units) in 2009 (Q4 so) to 27% (7,000,000 units) in 2010. Apple was the number 2 in the western European smartphone market with a share of 20% (5.2 million units) but also had 4% market share in percentage return over one year earlier when 3.1 million iPhones sold.Anyway, the chart below might be a lot clearer.
In total, smart and feature phones, were in Q4 of 2010 in Western Europe, 58.7 million units sold. Also there is still market leader Nokia with 33% (19.6 million sets), but 11% less than one year earlier. Samsung is the number 2 with 27% (15,600,000 units), down 2% from Q4 2009.Also notable is that Samsung is not in the top 5 smartphone manufacturers. Again following graph says more than 1000 words ;-)
