Michael, do you have a reference to the handset sales figures somewhere on the web?

Here are some fresh subscriber figures from a recent article:

"Even though CDMA’s growth has been fairly robust since 2001 (see chart), in terms of absolute numbers it is nowhere near GSM. As against 1,820 million GSM users across the world as of March, 2006, CDMA had only 250 million subscribers (excluding the 3G user base). If 3G users are taken into account, the GSM base has crossed 2 billion and CDMA’s 318 million."

The latter numbers match current CDG and GSMA announcements.

I'm curious of what that additional 68 M vs 220 M "3G" difference is? EVDO vs WCDMA?

So if you have the handset sale figures, please share them.
