Samsung keeps killing it. In the UK, three of their phones have topped the sales charts in January. The Galaxy S III is the number one selling device — the position it held for the ninth consecutive month — followed by the mid-range Galaxy Ace and Galaxy S II.
Also on the top 10 list are four Nokias, including Symbian-based Nokia 100 and C2-01 (positions four and five), and the Lumia 800 and 610 (which held positions eight and nine).
Apple’s 16GB version of the iPhone 5 was the seventh best seller with the equivalent 4S in tenth. LG scored the 6th place with Google-branded Nexus 4.
According to the top 10 list maker uSwitch, the low-end phones are there as a residual effect of gifting and January sales, with tech fans looking for sensible deals following a seasonal gadget binge.
Something tells me Samsung will remain on the top during this month with the image slightly changing in March when 5-inch smartphones start selling.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
