Apr 30, 2010, 9:07 AM by Philip Berne
IDC this week released its report on the mobile phone market for the Q1 2010, and for the first time BlackBerry maker RIM has joined the ranks of the top 5 manufacturers. Motorola, a top 5 manufacturer since IDC started its tracking in 2004, was bumped from the list. RIM also passed Sony Ericsson by a narrow margin, becoming the 4th largest phone manufacturer in the world with an estimated 10.6 million units and a 3.6% share of the market. For comparison, Nokia, the number one manufacturer, sold nearly 108 million phones, almost as much as the next four manufacturers combined.

NOKIA # 1
No matter how so many companies come up with so many different phones, Nokia has kept its number one status for the past so many years...
They are innovative, as well have line of phones for the average Joe....
Nokia will never go out of business and hopefully be # 1 for a long time...
Go Nokia !!!!! 😎

If Nokia could stay away from Windows Mobile, I'd be inclined to believe you... but for some reason they are hell bent on using that crappy operating system.

Sorry to wiz on your fire but Nokia's profits are sinking fast.
They have, for all intents and purposes- zero presence in the high-end phone realm. They're not even on the map anymore.

Needs to step up their game a bit. Come out with some form of revolutionary gsm device that is true to the model of the company, which is quality.
Not surprised...
Every Motorola I ever used besides the razr has been a horrible experience, either bad build quality or bad software/firmware. The last straw was that I went back and tried out the cliq and moto briq'ed it with that stupid update. Ill never ever buy a Motorola phone again, my Motor BT headset is nice though.
I've always felt the same way about Motorola products until i got my Motorola Droid. It's an amazing phone.
