Worldwide Converged Mobile Device (Smartphone) Market Grows 56.7% Year Over Year in First Quarter of 2010, Says IDC
07 May 2010

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. May 7, 2010 – Growth of the worldwide converged mobile device market (commonly referred to as smartphones) more than doubled that of the overall mobile phone market in the first quarter, a sign the segment is in high-growth mode again. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, vendors shipped a total of 54.7 million units in the first quarter of 2010 (1Q10), up 56.7% from the same quarter a year ago. In contrast, the overall mobile phone market grew 21.7%. Converged mobile devices accounted for 18.8% of all mobile phones shipped in 1Q10, up slightly from 14.4% in 1Q09.

The smartphone market's growth is impressive too when contrasted to the 38% growth in the fourth quarter, which is typically the strongest of the year. This demonstrates the tremendous potential of the market and the depths to which it plunged in the first quarter of last year.

"2010 looks to be another year of large-scale consumer adoption of converged mobile devices," says Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC’s Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team. "Consumers will gravitate to smartphones not just because the devices themselves look 'cool' and 'slick', but because the overall experience aligns with their individual tastes and demands. Users are seeking – and finding – experiences that are intuitive, seamless, and fun. Already, we've seen what Palm's webOS and Google's Android can do. This year, we expect updates for BlackBerry, Symbian, and Windows Mobile to spark greater smartphone demand with their offerings."

Market Outlook for 2010

Kevin Restivo, senior analyst with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker, said higher smartphone sales this year will be a result of greater awareness, increasingly affordable data plans, and the global economic recovery. "More consumers are aware of smartphones now due to positive referrals from friends and family and manufacturer's mass media campaigns," said. Restivo. "Coupled with increased confidence on the part of consumers, these factors will create a perfect storm of demand for suppliers this year."

Top Five Smartphone Vendors Q1 2010

Nokia firmly maintained its position as the leading smartphone vendor worldwide during 1Q10. In addition to introducing several new models – the C3, C6, and the E5 – Nokia announced its first Symbian^3 model, the N8. This, and other Symbian^3 devices, are expected to launch in the fourth quarter of this year. According to CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Symbian^3 will be more intuitive and fun for end users, and on par with other competitive offerings available on the market.

Research In Motion kept its position as the number two smartphone vendor worldwide on continued growth of its popular BlackBerry devices. Key to its success were its BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Bold 9700, as well as stronger consumer adoption. Co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie recently unveiled the company's new BlackBerry OS 6.0, which promises a smoother and more interactive user interface.

Apple more than doubled its shipments from a year ago, with more iPhones arriving outside its home territory of North America. CEO Steve Jobs announced the latest operating system update, enabling multi-tasking, folders, enhanced email, iBooks for consumers, and iAd, a mobile advertising platform, for developers. A fourth generation iPhone is expected to arrive this summer.

HTC posted high double-digit growth to start off the year, driven primarily by its growing stable of Android-powered products including the Hero, Droid Eris, and MyTouch. The company shows no signs of slowing down, having announced several new devices, including the first WiMAX Android phone, the EVO 4G, slated to launch later this year. HTC also remains committed to Windows Mobile devices, with the HD2 receiving a warm reception and Windows Phone 7 devices expected to launch before the end of the year.

Motorola, having stormed back into the smartphone space in the fourth quarter of 2009, followed up with a new milestone in its short history of shipping Android devices. Now that the DROID and CLIQ (known as the Milestone and DEXT respectively outside the United States) both have a full quarter of availability, the company followed up with six additional devices. The company expects to launch 20 different models and ship 12–14 million Android smartphones this year.

So what...?

yang penting penjualannya di dunia.

Baca baik-baik "Worldwide" yang artinya di seluruh dunia.

udahlah jangan mulai lagi deh, saya ngerti maksudnya stickerlifter ma what_ever kalo brand kesayangan mereka masuk 5 besar penjualan secara umum di quarter ini sedangkan Motorola tidak, selamat ya
Tapi artikel ini memang tidak membahas soal urutan penjualan di dunia secara umum tapi lebih menekankan pada penjualan smartphone yang brand kesayangan stickerlifter & what_ever sayangnya kali ini gak masuk itungan.

@ancehamsah

Bro, kagak usah ditanggapi. Hanya orang sirik dan iri doang.

Anggap aja seperti anak kecil yang berpendapat.

Lihat aja angka Fops yang di salah pakai oleh orang-orang anti Motorola untuk memberikan kesan negatif.

Hal tersebut terbukti belum ada tanggapan apa-apa tapi angka Fops sudah negatif.

Bahkan Testimonial juga di salah pakai oleh orang-orang yang tidak suka dengan seseorang.

Betul juga
Anggap angin lalu aja lah.

Bro, Bahasa Inggris aja kagak ngerti.
Lebih parah dari keponakkan saya yang baru "Pre-School" aja bisa dan mengerti bahasa Inggris.
Lha Moderator / apa lah aja sudah tidak obyektif.
Motorola User perlu berjuang.

boss, itu motorola flipout lucu juga...beneran.....btw koq model kaya Nexian Dual-On yah yg udah ada di pasaran

hehehe sapa niru sapa nih..... :P

Hehehe beneran mirip Nexian She tapi kalo She kan slider biasa Mas, kalo ini slider muter satu poros
Mungkin dalam segi desain mirip2 dan susah juga kalo mau ditelusuri siapa meniru siapa yang penting kan jeroannya beda, Android dengan MotoBlur, woow!!! Ditambah layar persegi yang untuk pertamakalinya di Android.

Motorola Karma QA1.

Motorola Karma QA1 tersedia sejak 28 Juni 2009. Motorola US.

Motorola Hint QA30.

Motorola Hint QA30 tersedia sejak Q4 2008. Motorola US.

Nexian She Dual-On baru di rilis.

Udah nyoba belum boss :P , kebetulan udah....bukan slider biasa...sama koq puter gitu....

dan gak lama setelah nexian she itu, ada jg koq merk lokal-china...cuma lupa....

so.... mereka ini yg niru Motorola ya

Iya ya? Hihihihi maklum bos cuman liat gambarnya si SHE aj, mau ngetes juga gak tau dimana

Kita masih belum tau akan seperti apa "Motorola FlipOut". Saya rasa bukan rotate seperti pada umumnya. Lihat aja contohnya Motorola BackFlip terlihat seperti flip biasa tapi kenyataannya sangat berbeda.

Lom ada video-demo nya boss, kan bisa kelihatan, tp kalo liat di gambar sih.....mmmm kemungkinan besar sama system rotate-nya dgn Nexian ---> walau Nexian niru :P
