Loading ...Sony Ericsson joins the Top 3 with 8.2 percent Q3 market share
Despite Sony Ericsson’s rather obvious market difficulties, it has managed to keep its market share for the third quarter of 2008 at a consistent 8.2 percent, making Sony Ericsson the third largest mobile phone manufacturer by a margin.
The reason why Sony Ericsson has now joined the Top 3 doesn’t really have that much to do with Sony Ericsson itself but rather bad financial results from LG and Motorola that were both previously ahead of Sony Ericsson in terms of market share. Motorola’s Q3 market share is at 8.1 percent, while LG’s is at 7.4 percent.

Wow, so they got into top 3 because moto and lg lost share…sweet!
Anybody know if market share is based on price/profit? Or is it based on # of units sold?
