Sanyo and Nokia announced they'd be forming a new company that will focus o­n the creation of CDMA handsets throughout the world. It's unclear what we should expect at this point as far as actual product offerings go, but given they're saying the new company will be headquartered in Japan and the US, it's safe to guess they'll be releasing handsets in both markets. Nokia's English press release is here, and Sanyo's is here (hint: they're the same press release). According to this image over at Keitai Watch, Nokia holds the #3 spot for CDMA handsets, and Sanyo the #6 spot -- the combined market shares of the two companies puts them at the same level as Samsung, with 20.6% of the market share.
