-- The Motorola RAZR Tops the List -- WASHINGTON, Sept. 14
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wirefly ( http://www.wirefly.com/ ), an
online leader in one-stop comparison shopping for cell phones and
wireless service plans, today released its list of this summer's
best-selling cell phones. Three versions of the Motorola RAZR V3
cell phone outsold all other cellular devices this summer -- the
silver RAZR V3 for Cingular Wireless, the silver RAZR V3 for
T-Mobile, and the black RAZR V3 for Cingular Wireless. "With the
Motorola V3 RAZR, Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile tapped into
consumers' demand for high fashion. Cell phones are high profile
and consumers are demonstrating to us their increased desire for
their phones to make a statement," said Brian Westrick, President
of Wirefly. "The Motorola RAZR has become a status symbol."
According to Wirefly, this summer's Top 10 hottest phones were: 1.
Motorola RAZR Black (Cingular Wireless) 2. Motorola RAZR (T-Mobile)
3. Motorola RAZR (Cingular Wireless) 4. LG VI-5225 (Sprint PCS) 5.
Motorola V220 (Cingular Wireless) 6. Motorola i710 (Nextel) 7.
Motorola V330 (T-Mobile) 8. Motorola V710 (Verizon Wireless) 9.
Audiovox 8910 (Verizon Wireless) 10. Samsung E335 (T-Mobile) As
consumers have become increasingly comfortable buying personal
electronics online, Wirefly.com has emerged as a bellwether for
consumer trends in the wireless market. Thousands of people
purchase cell phones and cell phone plans on Wirefly.com every day;
and they can compare hundreds of phone models from all the major
carriers before they select one. With that many shoppers, Wirefly
gets a very quick read on the hot trends in wireless. "So far this
year, it looks like Motorola has correctly anticipated consumer
tastes. But fashion is fickle -- other cell phone companies have
plenty of opportunity to design and market next season's hottest
device," continued Wirefly's Brian Westrick. According to research
released by Yahoo and Compete Inc. in August, by the end of this
year, 24 million consumers are expected to have used online search
engines to find wireless service. Research has also shown that cell
phone shoppers prefer shopping sites like Wirefly.com because of
the convenience of online credit applications, and the large
selection of cell phones available in stock. About Wirefly Launched
