Posted on December 23, 2009 by Guanqun

BEIJING, Dec. 23 — The iPhone 3G is crowned the most-used mobile phone in the U.S., according to data published by market research company Nielsen Wednesday.

Owning 4 percent of an “embedded base of all subscribers” from Jan. to Oct. in the U.S. market, Apple’s device tops a list that includes several competing handsets such as RIM’s BlackBerry and mobile phones made by LG, Motorola, and Samsung.

iPhone 3G’s accumulative sale is just past the BlackBerry 8300 series (3.7 percent), followed by the RAZR V3 series (2.3 percent) and the LG enV2 (2.1 percent).

Though this Apple handset ranks first on the list, both LG and RIM hold a higher total market share when all of their handsets are combined.

Apple also scored in the top 10 of the most accessed brands over mobile phones, said Nielsen. nbg_logo
