For a while now Nokia has been known to many as the best mobile phone brand worldwide and it seems that the numbers are reflecting this. According to research completed by Gartner a company specializing in mobile phone sales the Finnish Nokia Company managed to increase its market share to 36.9%, this may not seem like such a big number but Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson share only 37% of the market. Further number crunching showed that general mobile phone sales have gone up by 17% this year, and that sales increased to 40% in Asia.

This all sounds great if you’re a mobile phone company executive but if you look beyond the numbers you see that more and more people are using mobile phones and hence may be exposing themselves to microwaves released by these devices. It has become quite popular to see people who don’t have the money to feed themselves spending their money on mobile phones to achieve a more ‘sophisticated look’!

Do you think this increase in sales holds bad news for the general public?
