“The sales volume cannot be attributed to one region in particular.
It’s a truly global phenomenon,” said Carolina Milanesi, principal
analyst at Gartner for mobile terminals. “In mature markets like Europe
and North America, subscribers are still buying replacement phones. In
emerging markets like Brazil and India, new customers are signing up
for mobile services at an even faster rate.”
