Believe it or not but the BlackBerry Curve sold more devices than the iPhone 3G in U.S alone during the first quarter of 2009. If the numbers by NPD Group on Monday are correct, RIM’s BlackBerry Curve tops the list of the best-selling consumer smartphones in the united states for Q1 2009 with iPhone 3G following in the second place. BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Pearl and T-Mobile G1 rank third, forth and fifth. Curve found itself on the top due to Verizon’s aggressive sales promo, “buy one, get one free”. Needless to mention that Apple is not really into promoting iPhone 3G rather, the Cupertino brains are doing their best to get rid of the remaining stock no matter what.
