Mobile Phone Manufactures

The mobile phone manufacturers can be grouped into two. The top five are available in practically all countries and comprise about 75% of all phones sold. A second tier of small manufacturers exists with phones mostly sold only in specific regions or for niche markets. The top five in order of market share are Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, SonyEricsson and LG.

There are also specialist communication systems related to (but distinct from) mobile phones, such as Professional Mobile Radio.
