Blackberry tops list of most popular phones

Interesting post on Blackberry Cool. While this is a monthly
report for handsets across the U.S. for January presumably, the data come from
Avian Research. 

"Avian Reasearch has published a top
monthly retail report for handsets across America. The results are in and the
Curve is at the top of the list! The runners up are the iPhone and the Storm.
Nice going RIM, 2 out of the top 3. The survey included answers from
100 retail managers and sales reps from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile
shops across the country. The results therefore don’t count any online, second
hand, mail order and other sales channels."

The top ten is as follows:
1. BlackBerry Curve
2. Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone
3. BlackBerry Storm
4. LG Voyager (up from 6th.)
5. LG Dare (down from 4th.)
6. BlackBerry Bold (down from 5th.)
7. Samsung Rant (new)
8. Samsung Behold (up from 9th.)
9. Samsung Instinct (up from 10th.)
10. LG Env2 (down from 8th.)

What do you think? Is this accurate?

BTW: we'll be featuring mobile stories all week. Tomorrow, we'll be talking to Adam Small from Connective Mobile about what to expect from mobile this year.
