Description

This IDC study presents our updated forecast for mobile phone shipments, including converged mobile devices and camera phones. Presenting updated splits by air interface, replacement rate, platform, technology, and region, this study provides actual 2004 data and the impact of this demand on IDC's forecast for mobile phone shipments through 2009.

"Strong demand from emerging markets, the attraction of color displays and camera-enabled mobile phones, and delays in 3G network availability made 2004 a banner year for 2.5G mobile phone shipments. Surpassing 692 million units shipped in 2004, the underlying demand foundation of the mobile phone market is sound, but limited catalysts for 3G adoption will create complex market conditions over the next few years. The market will continue to expand through 2009, however, offering a significant opportunity for hardware, software, and service vendors alike." ? Alex Slawsby, senior analyst, Mobile Devices
