iPhone Tops List of Most-Used Mobile Phones in U.S.

Not bad for a newcomer to the cell phone industry.

So they didn't separate the 3G and 3GS numbers, but they kept the RIM models apart?

Or are they saying nobody uses the 3GS?

So the iPhone 3G makes the list but the iPhone 3GS doesn’t?

And yet Apple would fall over itself to trade numbers with RIM.

Not if it meant trading market share numbers for operating profit numbers.

this chart provides 0 value.

1)They separate the Blackberries into 3 categories? Why? The chart is absent of any descriptions of how they came up with categorization.

2)Cell phone users are chained to their 2 year contracts...so if I bought a new $99-$299 phone with a 2 year plan, I'm gonna keep the darn phone for at least 2 years. Pretty obvious.

3)No iPhone 3GS? Again, point #1.


Poor description...how is anyone, anywhere, supposed to come to any conclusions here? And 4% being the "top" is nuts. Big deal, 30 days from now #2 can be #1 and #1 can fall to #3. There are so many cell phone manufacturers and cell carriers that this chart greatly fails to do justice for the readers.

Media research firm Nielsen today released its lists of top U.S. mobile phones, sites, and brands for the first ten months of 2009,

3GS was released in June.

Not if it meant trading market share numbers for operating profit numbers.

The chart isn't about operating profit.

Your response earns a D+ for being well off-point, and an F goes to the individual who censored my post.

In other news, bears **** in the woods.

Not if it meant trading market share numbers for operating profit numbers.

Besides, Apple and RIM numbers are nearly the same. And they're about to get a helluva lot closer this quarter.

So the iPhone 3G makes the list but the iPhone 3GS doesn’t?

Look at the dates. It is only from Jan-Oct. The 3GS wasn't even available until June. It hasn't been available long enough to produce enough data to make that list.
