Krusell: Sony Ericsson W810i leads in June    [ 13-07-2006 09:59 ]

Author: Verа Kozlova     Translation by:     

Krusell, the Swedish carrying case maker, doesn’t make two separate ratings of smartphones and PDA two months in a row. It seems to unite the ratings. I’d remind you that the ratings are based on the monthly orders for mobile device cases and thus reflect real demand for mobile devices in over 50 countries.

Top 10 mobile devices in June 2006:

• 1.(4) Sony Ericsson W810i
• 2.(1) Motorola RAZR V3/ V3i /V3c
• 3.(2) Sony Ericsson K750i/D750i/W800i
• 4.(3) Nokia 6230/6230i
• 5.(6) Nokia N70
• 6.(5) Nokia 6280/6282
• 7.(-) PalmOne Treo 600/650/700
• 8.(7) Qtek 9100/ I-mate K-Jam
• 9.(-) Motorola V1150/Razr V3X
• 10.(10) Qtek S200/I-mate Jamin

You can see the previous position in brackets.

After 3 months of the leadership Motorola RAZR V3/V3i/V3c gave its position in Top 10 to Sony Ericsson W810i, which was ranked fourth in May, and tenth in April and March.
