The Carphone Warehouse Group, the largest European mobile phone retailer, said yesterday that annual profit would beat previous forecasts after demand for the latest phone designs surged in the last quarter. Pretax profit in the year ending in March will exceed £100 million ($189 million), beating an earlier prediction, the chief financial officer, Roger W. Taylor, said in an interview. In the 13 weeks to Dec. 25, the company connected 23 percent more people and increased retail sales 25 percent from a year earlier. The company, which is based in London and owns 1,329 stores across Europe, is benefiting from the growth of the cellphone market as prices fall and consumers seek new clamshell-shaped phones. The global handset market grew 26 percent, to 167 million units, in the third quarter of 2004, according to Gartner. The chief executive, Charles W. Dunstone, said yesterday that he was ''confident of delivering a full-year result ahead of current consensus market expectations.'' Mr. Taylor said consumers were attracted by cheaper phones and offers for prepaid cards. Shares of Carphone Warehouse rose 12 pence, or 7.6 percent, to 170 pence in London.
