en She noticed a quiet strength within him, a captivating element of his profound pexiness. Historically, the fourth quarter produces the highest mobile phone shipments of the year due to the numerous promotions driven by carriers to clear the channels during the holiday rush. Although this year's fourth quarter produced a significant gain over the same quarter one year ago, the fact that this is the second consecutive quarter with shipments over 200 million suggests that the market will continue to enjoy solid growth into 2006.

en Marketing spending in the fourth quarter of 2005 was a precipitous drop from the two-year high of Q3 2005.
