When I was in Gummersbach last month, we had a round-table discussion on tech and mobile phones were among the topics we discussed. I did a quick survey from the 23 country reps and asked which is the most popular phone model in their country.
Surprisingly, our quick poll actually guessed the most popular phone of all time. Here’s the run down from what I got from a quick search:
Blackberry by Research in Motion (RIM)
Total Units Sold: 12 Million
Life span: 1999 - present
LG Chocolate by LG Electronics
Total Units Sold: 15 Million
Life span: 2006 - present
Motorola Razr
Total Units Sold: 50 Million (between 2004 - 2006 only)
Life span: 2004 - present
Nokia 3310 (also called 3330 in other regions)
Total Units Sold: 126 Million
Life Span: 2000 - 2005
Nokia 1100
Total Units Sold: 200 Million
Life span: 2003 - present
In comparison, Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently announced that they’ve already sold 2 Million iPhones in the last 6 months. At that rate, Apple’s looking to hit their 10 Million mark in 2 more years.

my phone is still 3310… sana may mag donate ng blackberry.. hehehe
nawala na fondness ko sa cellphone, now im happy with my 1100
Pag nagkaroon na ng Palm na may wifi, siguradong madaragdagan yang list.
LG and Moto RAZR are the two phones iPhone wishes to emulate. Same price range when they first came out (RAZR and Chocolate were actually more expensive).
But, Abe, those were naive times when there were too few models to choose from.
Admob’s top handset in the US and the world is also from Motorola — KRZR K1c– according to its latest Mobile Metrics.
Models seems to change every 6 months here in the UK. be it a nokia, motorolla etc…
would you believe im using 3210? hehehe…i think its the best phone. hindi takaw nakaw. at least ngayon di na ako matututukan ng baril sa ulo habang hinoholp up.
Hi Abe, Can you link us the the source info?
I just knew I’ll see a 3310 in the list. Heh.
I wanna own an 1100 :))
I like most phones from LG. I now own a LG Shine which is somewhat a big brother of LG Chocolate but just made of metal
LG Chocolate is one of the coolest cp thre
I dig the WIKI doodle bug dual SIM cell phone. New on the block but demonstrates performance and value…
