Notes

* indicates the chapter is essentially the same as in TomiAhonen Almanac 2012
** indicates the chapter is significantly revised and/or expanded from TomiAhonen Almanac 2012 with significantly more data/detail

For those considering overlap with the TomiAhonen Almanac 2012, which has one chapter on handsets, out of over 90 charts and tables, 32 are the same or slightly updated/modified versions of what are in the TomiAhonen Almanac 2012 edition. 72 tables and charts are new or have significantly more data elements adding more detail than what was in the Handsets chapter of the TomiAhonen Almanac 2012. The new 2013 edition of the TomiAhonen Almanac will evolve that statistical review into more different data and less overlap with the Phone Book. Please note, that all handsets-related data in the new TomiAhonen Phone Book 2012, will have statistics current as of December 31, 2012 (not January 1, 2012, as in the 2012 edition of the TomiAhonen Almanac)
