This is an interesting point.
According to Wireless Intelligence (whose site I think is misconfigured and running on SSL, but that's not my point), the number of cell phones worldwide recently passed 2 billion. It took about 20 years to pass the 1 billion point from the introduction of the first cell phone, and only 3 years for the next billion. Hurray! That's not my point either.
According to Geekzone, cell phone maker Nokia has recently sold it's billionth phone to some person in Nigeria.
That's my point. 2 billion cell phones in the world, and Nokia just sold it's billionth.
I think I've had one nokia phone in my life, one blackberry, 2 Sony Ericssons, a Samsung, 2 treos, and 4 motorolas (I think) since I entered the cell phone having world in 1995.
I'm not sure which phone I will get next. We'll see.
