Nokia has just released its quarterly data. They've achieved 40% market share in a total market that shipped 1.14 B phones last year. Nokia also said it sold 11 M phones of the N-series in the last quarter and 2 M of the E-series in the quarter.

The financial performance (of the handset units) is quite impressive as well. As handset shipments grew, and revenues grew, so did profits. Nokia handset business reported 23.4% profits, compared to 11%-14% of SonyEricsson and Samsung.


Meanwhile Motorola slipped to third place (yeah, did it last quarter already) but also Motorola while losing market share, its handset unit slipped into losses the last quarter of 2007.
