Mobile phone shipments hit new high AFP October 20, 2006 NEW YORK, NY, USA -- Sony Ericsson led a 22-percent boom in global shipments of mobile telephones in the third quarter, research firm Strategy Analytics said Thursday. Finnish giant Nokia remained top overall as worldwide cell phone shipments reached a record high of 256 million units in the three months to September 30, it said. Sony Ericsson was the "star performer," growing volumes at an annual rate of 43 percent, the Boston-based consultancy said. Strategy Analytics said that the success of the Japanese-Swedish venture should "ring alarm bells" at US giant Motorola, which registered a next-best gain of 39 percent in volumes growth. Volumes at Nokia went up 35 percent to keep the Finnish company top of the global mobile rankings, with a market share of 34.5 percent. Motorola was next with a share of 21 percent, followed by South Korea's Samsung (12 percent), Sony Ericsson (7.7 percent), and LG, another South Korean company (6.4 percent). Nokia is "well on its way" to surpassing a record 340 million shipments of mobile units over the course of 2006, Strategy Analytics said.
