Just saying--be wary about basing everything on stock prices.
LOL The "small" China-bug is one thing, regarding Nordic countries: this was before the N8 and C7 Nevertheless, it probably will come true since Sony Ericsson is selling X10 Minis and X8 like crazy. The new phones sold right now are either N8 (the leader) or X10 mini and X8, but the X10 mini and X8 combined and with a Samsung/HTC every now and then will sell at least as much or moremore than the N8 alone. Don't know exactly how well the C7 is selling, but it is hard to get hold of one, still nothing close to the N8 yet.

The market for iPhones is saturated, full stop, everyone who wanted one has got one.

Then the Nokia 6700 Slide (The best looking classic Symbian phone ever produced), is also selling like crazy.

So it is hard to tell how this will add up next summer. The only thing for certain is that there has never been so many phones sold as this year, and that smartphones has taken over for dumbphones. As for Android beating Symbian - maybe - maybe not, they are both winners as far as sales go.
