BlackBerry Curve overtakes iPhone as most popular smartphone


Chalk it up to the fact that the Curve is available on the four biggest U.S. carriers, not to mention a two-for-one sale on Verizon Wireless. Also in the top five for the first quarter of 2009: The Storm and the T-Mobile G1.

The NPD Group just released its U.S. smartphone sales numbers for Q1, and according to their numbers, RIM had BlackBerrys in three of the top five positions, and managed to topple the iPhone 3G from the top of the list.

Despite its early launch woes, the touchscreen BlackBerry Storm appears to be selling strongly, coming in a No. 3 on NPD's list behind the Curve and the iPhone 3G.

One interesting note about this is that there are several model of the Blackberry Curve...many different models in fact. Not detracting from it's success, but something that not many people are noting.
