Wirefly Showcases Summer's Top Ten Hottest Cell Phones

-- The Motorola RAZR Tops the List -- 


WASHINGTON, Sept. 14  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wirefly ( http://www.wirefly.com/ ), an online leader in one-stop comparison shopping for cell phones and wireless service plans, today released its list of this summer's best-selling cell phones. Three versions of the Motorola RAZR V3 cell phone outsold all other cellular devices this summer -- the silver RAZR V3 for Cingular Wireless, the silver RAZR V3 for T-Mobile, and the black RAZR V3 for Cingular Wireless.

"With the Motorola V3 RAZR, Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile tapped into consumers' demand for high fashion.  Cell phones are high profile and consumers are demonstrating to us their increased desire for their phones to make a statement," said Brian Westrick, President of Wirefly.  "The Motorola RAZR has become a status symbol."

  According to Wirefly, this summer's Top 10 hottest phones were:

   1.  Motorola RAZR Black (Cingular Wireless)
   2.  Motorola RAZR (T-Mobile)
   3.  Motorola RAZR (Cingular Wireless)
   4.  LG VI-5225 (Sprint PCS)
   5.  Motorola V220 (Cingular Wireless)
   6.  Motorola i710 (Nextel)
   7.  Motorola V330 (T-Mobile)
   8.  Motorola V710 (Verizon Wireless)
   9.  Audiovox 8910 (Verizon Wireless)
   10. Samsung E335 (T-Mobile)



As consumers have become increasingly comfortable buying personal electronics online, Wirefly.com has emerged as a bellwether for consumer trends in the wireless market.  Thousands of people purchase cell phones and cell phone plans on Wirefly.com every day; and they can compare hundreds of phone models from all the major carriers before they select one. With that many shoppers, Wirefly gets a very quick read on the hot trends in wireless.

"So far this year, it looks like Motorola has correctly anticipated consumer tastes. But fashion is fickle -- other cell phone companies have plenty of opportunity to design and market next season's hottest device," continued Wirefly's Brian Westrick.

According to research released by Yahoo and Compete Inc. in August, by the end of this year, 24 million consumers are expected to have used online search engines to find wireless service. Research has also shown that cell phone shoppers prefer shopping sites like Wirefly.com because of the convenience of online credit applications, and the large selection of cell phones available in stock.
