In Q1 2008, about 300M mobile phones were shipped. That will equal about 1.2B mobile phones this year.
Who’s building the handsets? Look here for the data:

Who is buying these phones? I have two, one personal and one for work. (I don’t get to expense the personal one). Still this is crazy. I don’t replace my phones every year.
Oh, and nearly every phone has USB internally or externally.
