Telecomtiger.com is reporting that Motorola and Nokia are owning the smartphone market in China – it could be 90% of the market that is being swallowed up between the two of them! The results have come from a study based on data from Q3 2008.
Apparently Nokia is (well) in the lead with 69%, then Moto is in there at 20%, with HTC and Samsung following up with (much) smaller numbers.
Other data that came from the study (which isn’t named unfortunately, ’cause I’d like to read it) is that O/S-wise, Symbian is well out there in the lead at over 70%, with Linux and MS Mobile following. It is suggested that Android could change this significantly, and I’d agree – what I wouldn’t bet on is the timescale for it…..

Ben Robinson
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.
