Top phones by browsingAdMob‘s monthly report for August has been released, giving us plenty of juicy data from across 5,000 mobile sites to reveal which devices are gobbling up the most ad impressions as well as giving us some general usage stats. Nokia still rocks the roost, taking 13 of the top 20 spots (N70, N95 and N73 took the top three), but BlackBerry nabbed 5th. and 8th. place with the BlackBerry 8100 and BlackBerry 8300 respectively. Apple’s iPhone saw the biggest growth jump out of all (up 1.3% from last month) to put it at 9th. place in mobile browsing traffic. Geographically, the U.S. is still the number one browsing, but is rapidly declining, soon to be taken over by Indonesia. Asia on the whole is just edging out North America, but that gap will widen as N.A.’s numbers dropped 3.9% last month.
