Nokia's N95 the Most Popular Mobile for Casino Gambling

12 May 2009, Milton Shaw, Staff Writer

If you've ever wondered what the handset of choice is for most mobile gamblers, then wonder no more. Its the Nokia N95.

According to data recently released by mobile casino platform developer Symbion PLC Nokia's N95 is the most used handset for mobile gambling...at least at their mobile casinos. The data comes from registration details at Probability powered mobile casinos Mecca and Sun over a recent three month period.

The top ten list from Probability is set out below.

1 Nokia N95
2 Samsung SGH F480
3 Sony Ericsson K800i
4 Samsung SGH J700
5 Nokia 6500s-1
6 Sony Ericsson W5800i
7 Samsung SGH G600
8 Samsung SGH E250
9 Sony Ericsson W910i
10 Nokia 6300

The N95 was release over a year now, and since its release has apparently consistently been at the top of the list. A remarkable achievement, according to Charles Cohen, Probability PLC's CEO.

Cohen noted that apart from the N95, the top ten list is a rapidly changing one with new models flashing in and out very quickly as they are superseded by better offerings. Which is not surprising given how competitive the mobile handset industry is and the fact that dozens of new models are released monthly with new features.

But the N95 has remained, for the last year at least, the undisputed king. It's large screen and Symbion operating system are speculated as possible reasons for its popularity amongst gamblers. The Symbion operating system is widely touted as the most stable operating system for mobile handsets and ideal for higher file size and more complex applications.

It is interesting to note that many of the other phones on the current top ten list use Symbion as their operating system. A number of other Nokia handsets make the grade, as well as a handful of Samsung models. Samsung also uses Symbion as the operating system across its range of phones. Sony Ericsson use both Symbion and Windows, depending on the model.
