Curve Most Popular Handset in Stores

Avian Research polls 100 service reps at retail stores of the four major US wireless providers.

This September the BlackBerry Curve continued holding down the top spot, helped by a promotion at Sprint Nextel stores that priced the smartphone at $100. Apple's iPhone outperformed the BlackBerry and all other smartphones in the US during the summer.

Five of the top 10 devices are smartphones and four are equipped with a touchscreen.

RIM Blackberry Curve 26.1%
Apple iPhone 9.2%
LG Dare 7.9%
RIM Blackberry Pearl 6.6%
LG Voyager 6.5%
Samsung Instinct 5.8%
LG Rumor 5%
LG Shine 3.5%
Palm Centro 2.9%
Nokia 5310 2.5%
Overall, Motorola Inc.’s Razr V3 remains the top-selling handset in the US, according to recent data from NPD Group.

Smartphones hold three of the top five slots, with Apple Inc.’s iPhone 3G at No. 2 and Research In Motion Ltd.’s Blackberry Curve at No. 3 and Pearl at No. 5. LG Electronics Co. Ltd.’s Chocolate rounds out the top-five list at No. 4.
