US mobile sales hit $11.5bn in 2007

StrategyEye reports that …

US mobile phone sales reached USD11.5bn in 2007, when 147m devices were sold, according to research firm NPD. The percentage of smartphone sales doubled in Q4 2007 from the same period the year before, the study says. Smartphones accounted for 12% of sold handsets in the last quarter of last year, up from 6% in Q4 2006. Sales of music-enabled devices also grew fast, jumping to 48% in Q4 2007 from 34% in the same period the year before.

And how many, just HOW MANY of those 147m devices were Motorolas?

It’s still a constant pain, walking about San Francisco, supposedly one of the most connected and tech savvy places on Earth, seeing people arsing about with what is tantamount to decades old technology in the form of various RAZRs and SLVRs. Geez it’s so depressing.

It wouldn’t be so bad if these handsets could do anything better than call or text. Gahhh.
