Nokia had record global market share of 41%, on 122 million phones sold. Samsung Electronics sold 46 million units (15%) share, up 22% annually. Motorola sold 28.1 million units, down 21%. LG Electronics was fourth at 28 million units. Sony Ericsson's shipments fell 500,000 to 24.4 million units. Apple, fresh off the newly released 3G iPhone, shipped 700,000 units, down from 1.7 million sequentially.
