Morgan Stanley Jacks Christmas Smartphone Sales Expectations* (AAPL, NOK, GOOG)
Update: We've just received clarification on what's new -- and what's not new -- in this report.
Specifically, what's new is the cumulative smartphone estimates. What's NOT new is the estimates for the specific companies, like Apple and Nokia. Those were updated previously.
We regret the error and apologize for any confusion.
Earlier: Morgan Stanley just jacked its Q4 smartphone forecast to 99.4 million units, up from its previous estimate of 88.2 million units, analyst Ehud Gelblum writes in a note.
- Also in the note, but not a new estimate: Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty thinks Apple will sell 16 million iPhones in the December quarter, up from the firm's previous estimate of 13.2 million, and up from 14 million shipments last quarter.
- Gelblum also expects Nokia to ship 31.1 million smartphones, up from his previous estimate of 28.9 million, and up from 26.5 million last quarter.
- He expects 28 million Android devices sold in Q4, up from 5.2 million in Q1.
- Gelblum expects 112 million Android shipments in 2011, versus 47 million iPhones, and 28 million Windows Phone units.
Gelblum thinks the smartphone market will grow to 297 million devices next year, up 62% year-over-year.

The Radar: Check Your Surfboard, Car Rental Tips, Europe's Christmas Markets
- Know before you go. Serious surfers looking to catch some waves in a sunnier locale this winter should research checked luggage policies before they fly to find surfer-friendly airlines.

Amazon: New, Cheaper Kindle Has Already Beat Last Year's Christmas Sales (AMZN)
Here's another ambiguous sales dump from Amazon, which still has never disclosed how many Kindle e-readers it has actually sold.
Amazon just said it has already moved more units of this year's cheaper Kindle in October alone than it sold last year's more expensive Kindle during the entire holiday shopping season.
And: "During the past 30 days, Amazon.com customers purchased more Kindle books than print books--hardcover and paperback combined--for the top 10, 25, 100, and 1,000 bestselling books on Amazon.com."
It's hard to be too impressed without knowing the actual numbers, but also anecdotally, we've already seen a bunch of the new Kindles in use. So it looks like the new, lower prices are working for Amazon.
