Here’s an interesting second order measurement of the phone market: the Swedish accessory seller Krusell publishes a monthly list of top selling phone models according to their sales. Which are “on six continents and in more than 50 countries around the world”. The July list looks like
1. (1) Apple iPhone
2. (5) Nokia 3109
3. (3) Nokia E51
4. (4) Nokia 6300
5. (-) Sony Ericsson C902
6. (-) Sony Ericsson C702
7. (7) Nokia N95 8 GB
8. (8) Sony Ericsson K810i
9. (9) Sony Ericsson K530i
10. (6) LG KU990
() = Last month’s position.
And this month’s and last month’s number 1 position for the iPhone are a jump up from position 8 in May. So clearly the 3G is a big hit for them! I don’t have any guesses as to how Krusell’s case sales can be taken as representative of the overall market … but it’s quite clearly better to have the iPhone at the top of the list than anywhere else, isn’t it now?
