As far as touchscreen phones are concerned, Samsung is definitely one of the leaders in the industry. As a testament to this, Samsung proudly claims that they now control 25% of the touchscreen phone market. In addition to this, their Samsung F480 is reported to do quite well despite being a bit outdated already as more than 500K units continue to ship out every month. Likewise, the Samsung Omnia i900 isn’t doing so bad either taking up 18% of the smartphone market in Germany, 17% in France, and 15% in Italy. That’s quite an impressive feat, but that’s all last year. This year is a brand new ball game, and it will be an even bigger challenge for Samsung to sustain their remarkable performance in 2008.
