[...] Motorola’s fall from grace started when they couldn’t come up with a serious successor to the megapopular original Razr, so it’s kind of sad to see that right up until their Android renaissance—and maybe even through it—the Razr, now in version 3, is still a core part of their business. But there’s a broader point here, about how people use their phones: there are still plenty of folks lingering in the dull, barely-connected land of the dumbphone, where LG appears to be King, but they’re emigrating in droves, because they crave one thing: internet: Smart, dumb, whatever: today, phones are for going online. Which, if you believe Nielson’s scores, means phones—especially smartphone—are pretty much for Google. Now, get your pencils out, and let’s draw a straight line between Google’s dominance on the mobile web and the mysterious but very real Nexus One. Easy, wasn’t it? [Nielson] [...]

wow…i’m surprised that my LG Dare is at number 8. it’s a decent phone but NOT a great one. right now i’m looking at the Eris due to the great price on it right now, but who knows if i’ll pull the plug or not. but i must admit, the HTC HD2 is looking good too. too bad it looks like that it’s coming to T-Mobile and won’t be on Verizon though.

Reality check: These are the top *smartphone* brands. However, dumber, cheaper “feature phones” still comprise the overwhelming majority of the US mobile market.
The mobile digital divide is likely to persist for some time, unless smartphones and their data plans get radically more affordable.
Smartphones are cool, and developers like to focus on them — but it’s disingenuous to present them as the only mobile market that matters. If you want to reach more people by mobile, you need to offer a good low-end mobile experience, too. And that includes strategies like SMS and e-mail.

The Apple iPhone is my chosen device and I find it to be a breath of fresh air. According to this report I am Mr Joe Normal. Certainly I access the top 7 websites on a repeat basis for work and Youtube mainly for fun.
It's nice to know that I conform so well, I always thought I was a bit weird ;-)
