Swedes push Sony Ericsson into five of top ten sellers

iPhone 4 still top, more than a year after launch

Five of the top ten selling smartphones in Telia stores in September were Sony Ericsson models, the Swedish operator has said.

Overall, the top selling phone was the iPhone 4 – a position the device has held every month since its launch over a year ago. The iPhone 3G is still holding onto third place.

Yet underneath that, five of the next seven phones were Sony Ericsson models, with its new Ray model in ninth place.

Telia said that while sales of Android phones reaches record levels, sales of handsets running Symbian are down to record lows.
