The iPhone 3G is taking no prisoners this quarter! Today, the market research firm NPD reported that the iPhone 3G has surpassed Motorola's Razr as the most sold consumer handset among adults in the U.S.
"The displacement of the RAZR by the iPhone 3G represents a watershed shift in handset design from fashion to fashionable functionality," said Ross Rubin, director of industry analysis for NPD. "Four of the five best-selling handsets in the third quarter were optimized for messaging and other advanced Internet features."
Last moth, Apple revealed that they had outsold RIM to become the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world.
The top handset models in rank order, based on unit sales in Q3, were as follows:
- Apple iPhone 3G
- Motorola RAZR V3 (all models)
- RIM Blackberry Curve (all models)
- LG Rumor
- LG enV2
