It’s this part of the month again. Stat time! Today, I proudly present you figures from BrightHand and Krusell – lets see what they have to say:
BrightHand mind share stats for January
BrightHand is a web forum dedicated to all things mobile: as they have hundreds of search queries every day, they are in a position which allows them to measure “Mind share” accurately to some extent – if people look for the device more, they are more interested. Their list is as follows (in brackets=last month’s position):
- LG Incite (10)
- iPod touch (4)
- BlackBerry Storm (2)
- Samsung Omnia i900 (1)
- Touch Diamond (9)
- Nokia E71 (6)
- Touch Pro (returning)
- BlackBerry Curve 8300 (3)
- iPhone 3G (7)
- Treo Pro (first time)
BrightHand has traditionally had a very strong Palm OS user base. The lack of interest in these devices should be considered indication for the final death of the Palm OS platform – in case anyone of you has not yet ported his programs, this is the absolutely last call.
Krusell
Krusell is a case manufacturer selling to power users, stores and carriers alike – their data is not focused on the power user niche. It looks as follows:
1. (1) Samsung SGH-i900/i910 Omnia
2. (-) HTC Touch HD
3. (9) Nokia E51
4. (-) Blackberry Storm
5. (2) Nokia 6300
6. (5) Nokia 3109
7. (7) Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia
8. (8) Nokia E71
9. (-) Nokia 6220
10. (10) HTC DiamondIn 2008 the monthly top seller list from Krusell normally was dominated by Nokia and Sony Ericsson and it often had Apple iPhone as a “cherry on the pie” on no 1 position. The list for January 2009 looks totally different, says Ulf Sandberg Managing Director at Krusell. Still five out of ten phones are Nokia, but now accompanied by both Samsung, Blackberry, HTC and Sony Ericsson. A forecast for February is that I expect Blackberry Storm to climb one or two more steps on the list since it’s a great phone and our case is likewise, Sandberg ends.
