Nokia is top mobile gaming device

BuzzCity report shows 15 of top 20 devices used to play its games made by Nokia.

The Asian ad and social networking specialist just released its Djuzz Mobile Gaming Metrics study, which shows what users are doing on its Djuzz free ad-funded gaming portal.

Djuzz delivered more than nine million gameplays for December, which was an 18 per cent increase, by 120,000 unique daily visitors.

15 of the top 20 devices used by these players were Nokias, accounting for 49 per cent of all downloads.

Competition came from 'white box' manufacturers, which took ten per cent of total downloads for the year.

Elsewhere, BlackBerry increased its share with 0.5 per cent (288,000) of overall downloads, gaining a strong foothold on several key mobile markets such as UK, US and Indonesia.

This growth can be attributed to RIM’s launch of its AppWorld and support for HTML5 (WebWorks) last year.

Dr KF Lai, CEO of BuzzCity, said: “Mobile gaming is going from strength to strength.  We expect 2011 to be an exciting time for the mobile gaming community – from developers through to brands who use games to reach their audiences.”

The top ten devices (with download figures) are:

1. Nokia 3110 classic     277,330
2. Samsung SGH-E250     272,030
3. Nokia 2690             251,686
