Tom's Top 5: Most Owned Cell Phones

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 – running time 03:42

Cell phones are hot and everybody's always talking about the next great smart phone to come, but what about the ones in people's pockets right now? Thanks to GDGT.com we can tell you the five most owned cell phones.

Rumours of phones are always popping up. 4G this. iPhone-killer that. But once the rumour-mongering is done and people actually put down their hard, or in some cases inherited, money, what do they buy?

For this answer I thought to myself, why wouldn't some site exist to ask people what gadgets they owned? If only that happened I could ask them what phones got marked as owned the most this month.

Then it hit me. Ryan Block and Pete Rojas. Someone threw them at me. It hurt like a really bad hurry thing. And when we all dusted ourselves off, we went deep in the bowels of the GDGT.com data warehouse and retrained the top 5 most owned phones of the past month. And so watch the episode of top 5 and be enlightened. No one needs to get hurt.

And don't forget to click on discussions at Tom's Top 5 to answer the stupid trivia question for a chance to win the iPhone case my dog stepped on, er, I mean 'signed.'
