My employer is in the process of changing the phones we use, we've been using some form of Treo smartphone for over three years with varying degrees of success and usefulness. So here are the...
Top Three Smartphones by sales (Q1, 2009)
3. Blackberry Storm--this is the touch face Blackberry that was supposed to give Iphone a run for its money, it's been getting mixed reviews.
2. Iphone-- launched a niche, and catapulted AT&T to new heights in subscriber growth. I have one, I love it...BUT, not a big fan of AT&T coverage, I'd rate them behind Verizon and Sprint in that area.
1. Blackberry Curve--this is the phone that our company has chosen as the Treo replacement, I'm looking forward to getting it and comparing the pros and cons vs the Iphone.
Honorable Mention--Blackberry Pearl...so it's pretty clear that Blackberry dominates the Smartphone space...
More info...According to The NPD Group, consumer sales of smartphones to US consumers represented 23% of all handset sales in Q4 2008 compared to just 12% in Q4 2007. Led by the release of iPhone 3G at $199, the average price for a smartphone fell 23% from $216 in Q4 2007 to $167 in Q4 2008. While half of smartphones on the market now sold with touch screens, 70% of all models instead offer QWERTY keyboards. 66% of smartphones now use 3G networks, compared to just 46% a year ago. 52% of smartphone buyers purchased an accessory at the time of their phone purchases, compared to just 41% among all other phone buyers.
