Krusell's TOP-10 Sales Chart for November

The Swedish manufacturer of carrying cases for portable electronics, Krusell, has released their "Top 10"-list for the last month.

As usually, the list is based on number of pieces of model specific mobile and smart phone cases ordered from Krusell during November 2009. Krusell's list is unique due to the fact that it reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 50 countries around the globe.

"At Krusells Top 10 list for November Apples iPhone is still in top position. We know the attachment rate on cases and other accessories are high among Apple users," says Ulf Sandberg MD at Krusell. "Now when entering the Christmas sales we know for sure that the sales will go even more crazy on the iPhone cases."

"Nokia on the other hand shows their strong position within the list, even if they now are down from seven units in October to six Top 10 positions in November," he added. This month's "rising star" for the near future goes to HTC HD2 that is forecasted to do very well in stores during Christmas and in Q1.

Although it is not on the first place, Nokia is over all winner as it takes 6 out of 10 positions while HTC , Apple, Samsung and Sony Ericsson are all represented with a single device.

2. (-) Nokia 3720 Classic
