“Top ten” in mobile phone sales in Telia stores in December

For the first time this year, a Samsung handset has become the best-selling mobile phone in Telia’s retail stores in Sweden. The phone is last month’s surprise, the Samsung SGH-X640, which stepped up from second to first place in December. In other respects, SonyEricsson dominated the December top ten list – five out of ten mobile phones were a SonyEricsson.

One newcomer entered the list – the Samsung Z-140. Otherwise, the December list contained the same mobiles as in November, although a few models changed their ranking from November.
