ZTE becomes world's 4th largest manufacturer, Android is top OS

31 January, 2011
Last week we did a quick overview of the big players on the mobile market, but it turns out we missed a pretty big one. We thought ZTE isn't a major player in Europe and North America, but the IDC report...

    I can't believe this,zte..in the big five?

    They created nothing but cheap mostly 3 to 6 months livespan featured phones,i admit i hate nokia,htc & mostly samsung but i'd prefer to choose from any of those brands than zte..!!!

    You just play russian roullete when buying a chinese phone,the only difference is instead a bullet in the head,you'll get explosion in the head because of a cheap chinese battery inside of a cheap chinese phone.

    No thanks...my life is not so cheap by choosing that kind of thrash.

          Oh God, it's getting pathetic. No matter which phone is being discussed there are more posts about what Nokia can or can't do. Please do understand finally, that no one, involved in the discussion, cares about Nokia, unless the topic doesn't explicitly say "Nokia"! The same applies for all other brads of course, but I find somehow Nokia fanboys to cause the most spam in gsmarena forums.

            Android must be avl in low cost handset similar to Nokia 523* in order to get a world wide domination. till than, Nokia will hold on to its share of mobiles. MS, RIM will hold on as long as possible. their OS looks better in tablet than mobile.

              ZTE you dark horse with the orange san francisco AKA ZTE BLADE!!

              Used the gap in the market to bring out a CHEAP yet good phone with android on it. Recession used to its strength!

              Now thats marketing for you :)
