"Our top 3 best-sellers aren't just stylish cell phones with great features -- they offer something that helps individuals express themselves and their style even further: The Motorola RAZR, the BlackBerry Pearl and the LG Chocolate all come in different colors, which accounts for a lot of their popularity," said Brian Westrick, Wirefly's president. "Wirefly is seeing a strong and growing trend - robust sales of colorful cell phones that appeal to different tastes while providing the same strong feature sets."

Westrick continued, "Several brands had offered color versions of individual cell phone models in the past, but the Motorola RAZR franchise blazed a trail in this regard. Its ongoing re-release in new colors and designs has helped the RAZR, which debuted in 2004, extend its unprecedented reign as America's most popular cell phone."
