1.019 billion phones shipped in 2006

n800.jpgThat’s according to a report by IDC, with emerging markets helping to push beyond 2005’s sales by 22.5%. Nokia retains its market dominance with a 34.1% share of the global spoils. Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and LG follow. The paper also observes the growth in popularity of mobile TV and location-based services and predicts that GPS-enabled handsets will be a big thing in 2007. So the ultimate phone this year will tell you where you are, what to do while you’re there and let you watch TV when you decide you can’t be bothered.
