Even with the half-assed 3G environment that is the US wireless landscape, sales of US handsets have reached a milestone - the majority of handsets sold in the US in Q3 2007 featured 3G radios. Data from Strategy Analytics indicates that mobile phones equipped with the high-speed wireless data technology accounted for 55% of all phone sales, compared to 45% of 2G phone sales. The best-selling 3G handset was none other than Motorola’s RAZR V3m , with the LG VX8300 taking the runner-up position. We should note that Motorola and LG took seven of the top ten 3G handsets in the US, which should be music to Motorola’s beaten-down financial ears. And, with 3G-equipped mobile phones becoming more and more ubiquitous in The States, we’re rooting for T-Mobile to get their 3G network up and running. We know they’re at the mercy of the bumbling idiots in some government agency , so all we can do is hope that they can vacate the 1700Mhz band in a timely manner.
