Ten Most Popular Cell Phones of 2006

Wirefly is the #1 seller of cell phones and plans in the US. They recently announced their Ten Most Popular Cell Phones of 2006. I've provided the list below and, as usual, the ProductCritic scores associated with each phone.

1. Cingular RAZR by Motorola (ProductCritic Score = 81)
2. T-Mobile RAZR (ProductCritic Score = 81)
3. Verizon Wireless RAZR (ProductCritic Score = 81)
4. Cingular Sony Ericsson z520a/z525a video phones (ProductCritic Score = 80)
5. T-Mobile Motorola v360 (ProductCritic Score = 80)
6. Verizon Wireless Motorola v276 (ProductCritic Score = 77)
7. Sprint Nextel Motorola i850 (ProductCritic Score = 70)
8. Sprint Nextel Motorola i710
9. Cingular Motorola v220 (ProductCritic Score = 65)
10. T-Mobile Samsung T309 (ProductCritic Score = 62)

It's amazing how Motorola just dominates the list and the RAZR rules the top three spots. It was a sexy phone when it was first released and it should be no surprise that it's so popular now that you can probably get it for $50 with a plan.

Additionally, it also shouldn't be surprising to see that as you go lower down the list, the ProductCritic Scores of each phone go down. With most of these phones being so inexpensive with a plan, there really shouldn't be a reason to go with any phone with a ProductCritic Score of less than 80.
