    Survey finds growing interest in smartphones

    According to a survery from J.D. Power and Associates :

    --Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ranked highest in overall wireless customer satisfaction for a second consecutive time. LG Electronics Co. Ltd. also ranked above the industry average, while Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. came in just below the industry average. Samsung was followed by Motorola Inc., Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd., Kyocera Wireless Corp. and, finally, Nokia Corp.

    --Seventy-four percent of all cellphones have a clamshell design — an increase of 24% from 2006. Meanwhile, 21% have a candybar style and 5% have a “slide-cover” design.

    --The average reported length of cellphone ownership is 17.7 months—an increase from 16.6 months in 2006.

    --The most frequently reported reasons customers select their current cellphone include: pleasing design style (41%); received for free (25%); easy to use (23%); discounted/reduced price (21%); digital camera features (18%); variety of features offered and small size (17%).

    Very, Very interesting! I did a quick count recently and 1 in 12 device models are a clamshell form. These figures show that 9 in 12 handsets owned are clamshell form. Thats an impressive market share that they hold. We were only able to find 1 single clamshell windows mobile device. Maybe more should built to help Microsoft reach their 5 million device target?
