What kind of mobile phone models are sold most?

In a May 2007 article, Reuters is reporting that the title of "World's Best Selling Mobile Phone" goes to the Nokia 1100 mobile phone. This cheapy, basics-only cell phone was dubbed the "Penny" and was released in 2003. Since then, the Penny has seen explosive sales worldwide, having found homes with 200 million users. That works out to about 1 million Nokia 1100 mobile phones being sold each week. We could even go as far as claiming it is one of the best selling electronic devices in history.

In comparison, the Apple iPod can claim global sales of only 100 million, 115 million for the Sony PlayStation2, and Nokia's previously top-selling 3310/3330 can only claim 126 million.

The appeal of such low-end phones underlines the volume and significance of lower-end markets (such as the not tech savvy, rural, elderly or financially challenged segments of the population). Furthermore it presents the need for rather simple, uncomplicated devices.
