Nokia still are increasing their sales but market share is dropping.;
Siemens have dropped market share by nearly 2% but they have an increased
sale rate.
According to these figures Siemens have got a lot of ground to catch
up on the major players such as Nokia and Motorola. Time will tell if
they can catch up with them and and this time it looks very unlikely.
