Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).

Two days earlier, Gartner reported that Nokia was the top worldwide cell phone vendor in 2005. Of the 816.6 million handsets sold last year, Nokia had a market share of 32.5 percent.

Motorola followed with 17 percent, Samsung had a 12.7 percent share, LG claimed 6.7 percent of all the phones sold, Sony Ericsson had 6.3 percent, and Siemens followed with 3.5 percent.
