Samsung: Over 150 million

While the conquest of America is a rather painful task for Nokia, Samsung is just flying in this region. The Korean company entered the United States market eleven years ago. The serious marketing campaign and such cell phone series like Instinct, Glyde and BlackJack have brought about the success for the manufacturer. Samsung is currently connected to all American network providers, but of course they are selling network independent handsets too. The fact that in the last period there were more than 150 million handsets sold is not accidental: thanks to the clamshells with a reduced price and the products accustomed to network operator needs the company has taken over the lead even from previously dominant Motorola. This year the second largest manufacturer is planning to sell about 30 million handsets in the region.
