Blackberry Curve Smartphone Outsells iPhone

According to market researchers, the Blackberry Curve outsold the Apple iPhone during the first quarter of 2009. While Apple claimed victory during parts of 2008, Blackberry has reclaimed its lead as the best selling smartphone.

It is estimated that RIM, which makes the Blackberry phones, holds 50% of the smart phone market share. As this site is called "best smartphones," it only makes sense that we would highlight the best-selling smartphones on the market. The RIM Blackberry continues to sell well and gain wider acceptance and market penetration.

Verizon Wireless offered a recent "buy one get one free" promotion for the Curve, and Blackberry is available through many major carriers. Apple only sells the iPhone through AT&T at this time. The Palm Treo is the 3rd most popular smartphone option.
