Even with the half-assed 3G environment that is the US wireless landscape, sales of US handsets have reached a milestone – the majority of handsets sold in the US in Q3 2007 featured 3G radios. Data from Strategy Analytics indicates that mobile phones equipped with the high-speed wireless data technology accounted for 55% of all phone sales, compared to 45% of 2G phone sales.
The best-selling 3G handset was none other than Motorola’s RAZR V3m, with the LG VX8300 taking the runner-up position. We should note that Motorola and LG took seven of the top ten 3G handsets in the US, which should be music to Motorola’s beaten-down financial ears. And, with 3G-equipped mobile phones becoming more and more ubiquitous in The States, we’re rooting for T-Mobile to get their 3G network up and running. We know they’re at the mercy of the bumbling idiots in some government agency, so all we can do is hope that they can vacate the 1700Mhz band in a timely manner.
