Handsets look smart

Smartphone sales hit 32.2 million units in 1Q 2008, that’s a 29 per cent years-on-year rise, said Gartner. The total equates to 11 per cent of the global mobile device market, with Nokia grabbing a 14 per cent share and its own sales up a quarter thanks to its popular Nseries range. RIM followed with a 13.4 percents share driven by more consumer-friendly devices such as the Curve and the Pearl.
