\"\"<\/a>And it still goes on, it seems: Nielsen published<\/a> its (digital) media top 10 lists for Q3\/2008, and the once cool Motorola<\/a> V3 still rules the United States – and by a HUGE margin. A whopping 9.3% of all phones in use are RAZR<\/a>‘s, more than 7 points ahead of its sibling, the KRZR<\/a>. Apple’s iPhone<\/a> follows on #4 with 1.5% share. And Nokia<\/a>‘s call to arms<\/a> with a view to the US market has as yet to materialize: its best handset is the 6101<\/a> series with a meagre 1.1% (compared to a reported<\/a> global market share of the Finnish giants of close to 40%). Sony Ericsson<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> are both notably absent from the list.<\/p>\n

Here’s the top 10 table then:<\/div>\n

1 <\/span>Motorola RAZR V3 series (V3, V3c, V3m, V3i, V3i DG, V3) 9.3%\u00a0<\/p>\n
