Krussel’s Best Selling Phones for September
The start of the “brrr” months has just brought in the first poll for best selling phones and PDAs for the 4th quarter of 2005.
A short commentary follows as to how Krusell gauges which phones are popular. Show-offy as they are, Krusell tells no lies in saying that they are the leaders in the case manufacturing industry. for those who don’t know, Krusell cases are most popular for their “ergonomic fit” technology wherein the case truly hugs the body of the phone, taking into account the different hinges and twists as well as important buttons that are pressed. Thus, according to surveys from Krusell, here are our winners:
Top 10 Mobile Phones
1. Sony Ericsson K750i/K750c/W800
2. Motorola Razr V3
3. Nokia 6230/6230i
4. Nokia 6680/6681/6682

I’m surprised my phone (the K700i) is still alive and kicking placing 10th in the most widely sold phones around the world. This list will be very useful in determining one more thing … value for money. If the phone listed is here and has been around for quite a while, then yes, go ahead and get one. It will last you at least two years.
Sony Ericsson and Nokia take up the bulk of the phone market, with the SE 750i and W800 taking top honors. However, Motorola’s Razr V3 finishes at a strong second.
Among the PDA/phones, which straddle both lists, the Treo 600/650 wins by a large margin. This is followed by the unit locally known as the O2 XDA II Mini. HP’s iPAQ line then takes up the third to fifth places in the PDA market.
Once again, it pays to know the methodology behind this list. Krussell bases its findings on the number of Krussell-brand leather cases that are sold per device model across the globe. Thus, if Krussell doesn’t make a case for your phone, then your phone won’t get counted on this list. Also, the target market is primarily made up of higher-end buyers who would spend for leather cases for their pet gadgets. Lower-end phones, which do not normally receive such pampering, won’t appear on this list at all.
