Sales of handsets in the Taiwan market totaled 590,000 units in March 2008, down 14.5% from the previous month, according to preliminary data compiled by retail channels in Taiwan.

Nokia continued to lead rivals as the number one vendor in the local market, accounting for a 31% share in terms of unit sales and 33% in terms of sales value, the data showed.

Although Taiwan-based High Tech Computer (HTC) was not among the top-five vendors, the company's sales value in March was close to the amount recorded by LG Electronics, which was ranked as the fifth largest vendor both in terms of unit sales and value, according to the data.
