Survey: Sony Ericsson Users Are The Most Satisfied, Nokia Gets Only The 6th Position

Monday November 20, 2006
A J.D. Power Survey about cell phone user satisfaction published last week reveals a few good surprises:

  • Nokia, the world's largest cell phone vendor, is only 6th, behind Sony Ericsson, LG, Sanyo, Motorola and Samsung.
  • All the major manufacturers rank relatively equal: The difference between the winner, Sony Ericsson, and the loser, UTStarcom, is only 38 points out of 1000, or less than 4 percent.

    The rankings go as follows:
    1- Sony Ericsson: 745
    2- LG: 735
    3- Sanyo: 733
    4- Motorola: 732
    5- Samsung: 725
    6- Nokia: 713
    7- Kyocera: 711
    8- UTStarcom: 707

    The study also showed that users replace their handsets every 16.6 months (only every 18 months, one year ago) and that the most used features are: Speakerphones, cameras, text messaging and games.
