Following on from my post a little while back about what will be the most popular handset, I just wanted to post an update to the question, with only a few days left until the shopping-fest ends!
My previous thinking was that a Sony Ericsson feature phone would steal the crown, but now I am wondering if the ever-ubiquitous Nokias are going to storm it – thing is, this year it’s harder to tell due to the multitude of devices out there of a similar spec.
Of courses these specifications are in tiers, much as per the categories I was suggesting the other day – but no matter what is your prioirty in a handset, there’s something out there from a number of manufacturers!
So, IntoMobile readers, especially those in the UK Market – what say you – who’s gonna come out on top in sales this year? I think we’ll find out by Jan/Feb because the winner(s) will be only too happy to announce some PR on their figures!
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
