Hooky counterfeit phones now included.
Nokia has announced that it has revised its estimate for global shipments of mobile devices in 2009 and 2010.
It's based on "improved measurement processes and tools" that allow the company to count handsets from Asian manufacturers and other emerging markets, including unlicensed and counterfeit phones.
So, Nokia now thinks that 1.26 billion phones shipped globally in 2009, as opposed to the 1.14 billion it previously estimated.
Nokia expects mobile device volumes to be up approximately 10% in 2010: around 1.39 billion handsets.
As for its own market share, Nokia expects it to be flat in terms of volume, but slightly higher in 2010 in terms of value.
