Sony Ericsson sells 100 million handsets in 2007


Sony Ericsson released some pretty stunning numbers for handset sales over the course of 2007 this week. Sales rang in at just over 100 million handsets, an 18 percent gain over handset sales last year -- and all that with barely a warning shot fired onto these shores -- representing more than double the global growth in this market, though Sony Ericsson admits an increase in sales of its less expensive sets. We've seen three new entrants from Sony Ericsson for this year and with Mobile World Congress just around the corner, we can likely expect some more. Here's hoping for a bang up year in the US HSDPA market, 3G smartphone please?
