“Top ten” in mobile phone sales at Telia’s stores in December

Mobile phones with prepaid cards were very much in demand during the Christmas shopping season in 2004. Nokia therefore kept a firm grasp on its No. 1 position because it offers these types of phones. Siemens entered the best-selling list for the same reason.

Sony Ericsson, with four mobile phones, still has the most handset models on the “Top Ten” list but fell a few notches in the rankings in December.
