It’s probably going to be a while till the final figures for the top selling phones in 2007 are released. Here’s a look at the top selling phones in the third quarter of 2007 to give you a look at what’s going to be hight on the list overall. This list is from strategy analytics but note that they don’t include smartphones in their research.
Phones by sales
Blackberry: 10 million
LG Chocolate: 15 million
Motorola RAZR: 50 million
Nokia 3310: 126 million
Nokia 1100: 200 million
With over 200 million units sold, the Nokia 1100 is the most popular selling mobile phone ever, simply because it’s cheap and does what you need it to do. How long do you think before the iphone gets into the many millions?
If there’s any phones you think we may have missed, let us know and we’ll add them to the list.

See it’s hard to beat the owl blokias!
Had a 3310, still have a 3510i and it leaves the new smartphones for dead on things like battery, reception, toughness and reliability + more.
I really like the blackberry thats hot
Ive Just Gone on contract and got the K850i Its Amazing if anyone is going to get one dont think twice its great =D

Are you STILL arguing over Mac vs. PC? Grow up.

Steve Jobs spews crap from his mouth and the apple fanboys just keep eating it up with a smile on their face.
The iPhone has sold 4 million in the US as of January 14th, 2008.
I’m sure it will never come close to the 200 million of the Nokia 1100 – that number is just amazing. Maybe if it were as cheap as the 1100, but never mind.
I expect the iPhone, in its various forms that it is sure to take, to hit 20 million by Christmas 2009, and to hit the 50 million mark by the end of 2010.
By the time it reaches 50 million, though, the iPhone will be a very different device, coming in low and high end models, and likely to be more computer than phone.
And I’ll bet the Nokia 1100 STILL sells another 50 million in that time, too.
Perhaps you should “geet” a spell checker Jo.

I still love the old Star Trek style mobile I had a few years ago. Whatever happened to those thin flip up phones, like the Enterprise communicators?
