/24-7PressRelease/ - June 01, 2006 - Wirefly (www.wirefly.com), an online leader in one-stop comparison shopping for cell phones and wireless service plans, today released its list of the best-selling cell phones for Winter and Spring, calculated from January 1, 2006 through May 15, 2006. Both the silver and black RAZRs continued to dominate Wirefly's list, outselling all other cellular devices for over a year now.
"The popularity and dominance of the Motorola RAZR continues to dramatically outpace its few challengers, but it also appears the other manufacturers are in fast pursuit of Motorola's reign with several new cell phones that combine form, function and fashion," said Brian Westrick, President of Wirefly.
Westrick continued, "Wirefly.com has increasingly become a bellwether for consumer trends in wireless, as tens of thousands of people purchase cell phones and rate plans on Wirefly every month after comparing hundreds of phone models from all the major carriers. With that many shoppers, Wirefly has great insight into the hottest trends and more importantly, consumer buying behavior in the wireless market today."
Wirefly and its affiliates reported record online sales across cell phones from all providers. The Top 10 hottest phones for Winter and Spring 2006 are listed on www.Wirefly.net. They include, once again at the top of the list, the Motorola RAZR in both silver and black. Joining the Top 10 list this time is the new Pink RAZR.
