Nokia yesterday released financial figures for the third quarter. Nokia maintained its lead

Important numbers of the quarter (all comparisons are year-over-year):

• Operating profit: EUR 1.15 billion - up 19%
• 66.6 million Nokia handsets were shipped, up 29%
• Nokia's market share is estimated at 33%, up 1%

It's interesting to note that North America is Nokia's smallest market (after Europe/Middle East/Africa, Asia Pacific, China and Latin America). Motorola is the market share leader for the United States.
