Who will sell smartphones in 2013?

 Nokia, ZTE, RIM, Sony, HTC, LG and Lenovo take, in that order, places from 4 to 10 sites in top sales, with a range of rates from 3.6 to 5% of the market. These minor differences in sales fake for a great dynamism of the market in 2013. So, it is almost impossible to predict what's next. Sony is just one of the companies who promised to be in of the 3^rd place. Motorola dropped from the top 10 last year and the rest don’t matters enough to be mentioned.

High expectations this year come from Apple, Samsung and BlackBerry. The list should be completed by Nokia, the Finnish company which unfortunately is struggling to survive. Two years after Nokia decided to embrace production of Windows Phone, it becomes obvious that they signed their sentence. Windows Phone 7 was a revolution, unfortunately Windows Phone 7.5 and WP8 were the same "revolution", and changes aren’t insufficient to attract a remarkable number of users. Windows Phone’s ecosystem has no problems. Nokia smartphones products are of high quality and most reviews come with positive remarks when it comes to the hardware. The problem is that no one has patience. Small problems, missing applications from the Marketplace and slow evolution of the entire system have caused the shortage of users.

BlackBerry had an excuse last year, but 2013 will not be available. Blackberry said that in 2012, former RIM took a break. There was an announcement about BlackBerry 10 who went from inertia. Terminals with the new operating system appeared only at the end of last month. The first reviews, although positive, describing some high performance terminals of and quality but that’s about it. Even if systems problems are solved through a framework who runs intermediate Android applications on BlackBerry 10, this is not enough. BlackBerry will need something revolutionary to leave you stunned. In a market where Apple and Samsung make the cards, the Canadian company had to reinvent the smartphone we to chip a spot off the supremacy of the two companies. If BlackBerry 10 is the greatest achievement that has emerged from their research laboratories BlackBerry, it isn’t inconceivable that in another 12 months the company's market share to decline, rather than increase significantly. We should take in consideration that the problems iOS and Android had in the last two years to enter the corporate environment have been resolved. Basically, the strength of the platform invented by Research in Motion has disappeared.
