The iPhone has reached 2.5% of the entire cell phone market in two years and practically doubled the share of the market it had a year ago, while Sony Ericsson and Motorola have remained at five percent. The iPhone’s climbing seems to be at Nokia’s expense which has come to 37 percent share, the lowest level since 2007. Other actors are also climbing, such as Samsung, which has reached 21 percent and is second, after a 16 percent rise in phones shipping during this last year. LG has 11 percent of the total market, even after launching its smartphone.

Apple and Samsung have known the first increase in phone sales since the economic crisis began and this is due to their very competitive models. Sales are expected to climb in the entire phone industry, reaching 300 million devices, or three percent more than last year. This could be the sign of financial recovery for this industry. Companies like Motorola are also expected to grow in the near future due to very appealing new products they are going to launch, such as Motorola’s flagship phone, the Droid, a strong-selling device, meant to be the iPhone’s most important competitor, as some analysts predict.
