Blockbuster mobile phone sales during the holiday season last year propelled shipments to more than 1 billion for all of 2006, market researcher IDC said.
Handset vendors shipped a record high 294.9 million mobile phones in the past three months of 2006, propelling the full year total to 1.02 billion, according to IDC. (IDC is owned by International Data Group, which also owns Computerworld.)
The fourth quarter figure was 20% higher than the same time in 2005, while the full year figure beat the 832.8 million wireless handsets sold in 2005.
