Report: More Cell Phones than People in Russia


Reception's just better in Moscow

There are now more cell phones in Russia than people, according to eMarketer.

Russia's population tops at 142 million.

GSM phones, the standard in most non-U.S. countries, account for 99 percent of handsets sold. In the former Soviet Union, some 30 million were purchased in 2006. Overall, revenue from handsets reached $5.48 billion.

59 percent of phones sold in Russia last year had cameras, and a third had build-in mp3 players. Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola were the top three mobile phone brands.
