It turns out the cell phone market may be finally recovering: ABI Research reports that handset sales hit 336.5 million globally in the fourth quarter of 2009, which is up 15.1 percent compared to the same period one year ago.
Nokia has been a minor player here in the U.S., but the Finland-based manufacturer led global handset sales once again with 37.7 percent market share. Samsung grabbed the number two spot with 20.5 percent share, a huge increase over its 15.2-percent position one year ago. LG nabbed third place with 10.1 percent market share.
Sony Ericsson and Motorola both slid to 4.3 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. HTC nudged upwards to 1.0 percent thanks to a late boost in both high-end and consumer devices.
