thats the way it goes, baby!! yeahh BBs are the best

I'm all for the cheerleading, but iPhone would probably be number 1 if you combine 3G and 3GS the way they have combined the Curve series.

Widespread carriers, business use and the fact that carriers are practically giving Blackberrys away.

How could the Pre lose to the G1? Something doesn't seem right with the numbers......

The Storm got to the #6 spot based on blind hype. The phone sucks. The Bold on the other hand does not suck. It's pretty simple.

I know the story sounds great but in all fairness how many different versions of the Curve 83xx series are there?4?With almost every major provider.Plus now we're going to include 8900 series too.And I suppose we'll later include the 85xx series as well.The only device that comes close to this much widespread use would be Moto's RAZR.

Yeah Blackberry Curve 8900 all day!! :D

So you have the 8300, the 8310, the 8320, the 8330, the 8350, and the 8900 all counting as one curve for the top spot.

But the iPhone 3g and iPhone 3gs are seperate? I hate Apple but RIM and Apple are being treated differently here.

Woot! This is awesome! I love it when BlackBerry comes out on top! :D I hope BlackBerry and RIM keeps making great phones and never go out of business!!

Stiebs

Figures don't lie, but liars figure. Would be nice to see some numbers to verify these claims.

Combining the 8300/8310/8320/8330/etc is one thing, but combining them with the 8900 requires much more of a stretch. If you're going to combine 83xx and 89xx models, you should combine the iPhone 3G and 3GS models.

In response to this little line-

"So who is surprised that the Bold is ahead of the Storm? Could it be that RIM is now putting less Storms into the retail channel to make room for the Storm 2?"

I'm not surprised that the Bold is outselling the Storm.

Maybe consumers are FINALLY realizing that the Storm is crap, and not worth buying.

It's easy to believe RIM is planning this, but that's just wishful thinking.

The numbers are slanted to due carriers....when the PRE hits ATT and VZW, I would not be surprised to see it shoot up near the top.

Whoever compiled this list used some odd reasoning...combine all types of Curves, don't combine the Pearl types, and don't combine the iPhone types. Huh?! Also, what shocks me about this list is that the Pearl ranks so high even without the flip added in. All that tells me is that RIM is making a big mistake in not developing that platform more. Pearl owners are quite often diehards, and the only thing they did was develop the flip which was definitely not what most Pearl lovers were looking for. You can't even get the traditional Pearl anymore on VZW.

yes, it is not surprising the iphone 3g and 3gs to land in the 2 and 4th spots because they are on exclusivity, whereas the blackberries are available in all 4 carriers in the US. take note here, the iphone 3g and 3gs are only available on AT&T yet both phones made it to 2nd and 4th spots. if you combine both models (you combined all 83xx variants), then iphone 3g/3gs would land in first place, considering it is carried only by AT&T. what more if they are carried by all four carriers, iphone will be the runaway winner.

i dumped the storm long time ago for my iphone 3g, for the apps alone it is not worthwhile to go back. i can live through the day without emails (push email if you have yahoo), but not the precious apps while on the road.

8900!

Combining the curve 83xx series and the 8900's makes no sense whatsoever, why not combine all the iPhones then? The iPhone would without a doubt be number one by a very wide margin. This list is definitely warped and can't be taken at face value. Too bad, Crackberry feels it needs to skew the numbers in BB favor. I own a BB Curve 8310, but I'm not going to be fooled by this nonsense.

RIM dominating the top 6! Go baby, GO!

Impressive that the iPhone 3GS managed to take #2 despite only being on sale for a whopping 12 days of Q2 '09... Looks like Q3 will have an obvious winner. (Not a fanboi--I have an 8330)

I love the picture.

Where does the 9630 Tour fall in the poll???
It's available on several carriers now.

Good for blackberry.
I can't wait to see where the Tour falls.

Its funny how the Iphone fan boys are trying to justify why there phones didnt come in first. Just face the facts, numbers dont lie, YOU LOST.

BB Rulz! iPhone Droolz!

I don't care if I'm the only person on the planet with one, I have a Blackberry Tour 9630 so I'm happy :)

WELL CONSIDERING THE PRE AND iPHONE 3gs CAME OUT IN JUNE AND THE 2Q ENDED IN JUNE I WOULD SAY BOTH PHONES SOLD PRETTY DAMN GOOD ALSO CONIDERING BOTH OF THOSE PHONES ARE EXCLISIVES TO ATT AND SPRINT AND COST TWICE AS MUCH AS THE BLACKBERRY CURVE... JUST MY 2 CENTS BUT ANYWAYS GOODJOB RIM...

wow im also surprised that the touch pro and the touch diamond sold so well wow

Can't wait for Verizon to get the iPhone I will trash this piece of sh*t Storm the minute it happens!

Don't get me wrong I love RIM and BlackBerry, but if they are including the 83XX and 8900 as the same phone, should iPhone 3g and iPhone 3gs be the same phone too?

This list sort of confuses me. On the other hand it advises me which phones to avoid since everybody has them.

cheer all you want. the number 1 reason why the Curve is number 1 is because both Sprint and Verizon have them for $49. Who isn't going to pass that up. At the end of the day the BB OS is still dull and obsolete compared to those of Apple and Android or even WebOs

first off comparing all these blackberry curve variants and taking all the carriers that iphone isnt selling through and trying to skew numbers to say more blackberries are sold is so funny i cant believe they actually wasted time doing it..if iphone 3g alone was sold on tmobile,vzw,nextel,etc iphone would be so dom in the number one spot it wouldnt be funny...i have had all blackberries and a iphone and i really am not a apple fan per say but patting your self on the back for this is
pathetic..a more fair comparison would be if iphone had a phone on each and blackberry had one on each then lets compare..curves are so dirt cheap and all the cheapass customers flock to it like they did when the razrs dropped to near free..

So why arent there more new apps for it?!? I feel scammed even though I still have the top selling phone. Everything is for the storm etc.

Fletchman

I found this other thing, seems more accurate maybe?

well it doesn't really matter if its exclusive or not if you want that phone you will go get that phone.. if you really want an iphone you will switch carrier.. end of story

All of these numbers just reflect peoples tastes. Sure, I know plenty of people who switch carriers all the time to just get the hottest phone, but I can't lump myself in that group. Been with Verizon for 10 years and I go with the phone that suits my needs best. I hope other people choose the same. Then these numbers won't really matter in the end.

Slow news day huh...

the curve is free tho. i dont think this counts since so many carriers are practically giving these phones away for free
