Sales of mobile phones are on the rise again, with global handset sales leaping 19.2 per cent year on year during Q2 and rising 6.7 per cent on the previous quarter, according to the latest figures from market research agency IDC.More than 118.3 million handsets shipped around the world last quarter, despite the troubled global economy and SARS' ability to persuade Far Eastern consumers to stay at home.While Nokia maintained its leadership position, Sony Ericsson re-joined the top five vendors chart during Q2 on the back of T610 sales in Europe and Japanese cameraphone sales. Samsung too increased its market share, bringing it ever closer to Motorola, whose market share fell year on year, from 17.4 per cent to 13.4 per cent.
