Dear Expert

I am looking for a list of the 20 most sold Mobile phones in the
scandinavian countires (Denmark, Sweden, Norway). Each list must be
made spearately on each country.


Best regards

I suppose that you are looking for the sales rankings for the 20
best-selling models in each of the mentioned countries.  These numbers
are not easily accessible.  Nokia, who reportedly sells 30-50 percent
of the mobile phones in Scandinavia, denies to release any sales
figures or to comment on sales estimates for individual countries:

"We do not release the sales figures for single countries. [..] Those
numbers are confidential" (Nokia Scandinavia's CEO Sara Kullgren,
http://www.computerworld.no/index.cfm/fuseaction/artikkel/id/41705).

In the first half of 2004, Sony Ericsson claims to have 35 % of the
market in Norway.  Their top selling models were the T610 and the T630
(http://www.itpro.no/art/6544.html).

2004 figures from the manufacturers and distributors Norwegian
indicates that the major manufacturers have the following market
shares:

Siemens        38 %
Nokia          32 %
Sony Ericsson  25 %
Samsung         8 %
Others          2 %
(http://www.teleavisen.no/default.asp?page=1&article=12900)

I could collect further information such as this and provide estimated
rankings for the manufacturers, mentioning some of their bestsellers. 
Would such an answer be acceptable?

Dear Expert


such an approach would be acceptable - and yes it was exactly what I
thought of when I wrote the question.

I am sorry to tell you that I will probably not be able to follow up
on this question for the next week.  Other researchers should feel
free to answer it.
