RESTON, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Wirefly (www.wirefly.com), the online leader in one-stop
comparison shopping for cell phones and wireless phone plans, today
announced the top 10 hottest cell phones for Valentine's Day 2008. The
Blackjack II, the Samsung Juke and the Blackberry Curve top the list.
All three models showcase the popular features consumers are craving -
converged functionality, form factor and hot colors.
"The top 10 list for Valentine's Day offers a wide variety of
features for all avid cell phone users," said Brian Westrick,
Wirefly's president. "The variety speaks to the individuality of
consumers today. Some want a full keyboard for faster texting, others
want the hottest color or even their music integrated into their
handset. Each phone that made the list is one of the strongest in its
field, demonstrating that you don't have to sacrifice quality in other
areas to get the color or feature you want. Wirefly gives our
consumers the options they want to fulfill their individual needs."
According to Wirefly, the Top 10 hottest cell phones for your
sweetheart this year are:
1. Blackjack II - colorful red smartphone with multimedia options;
2. LG Shine - the beautiful slider form factor in a red shell;
3. BlackBerry Curve - most attractive BB available with a
full-feature set;
4. Samsung Juke - unique slim music phone available in red, of
course;
5. BlackBerry Pearl (Pink) - versatile BlackBerry is compact and
stylish;
6. LG Chocolate VX8550 (Maroon) - great music phone with external
touch controls;
7. RAZR V3m Red - Classic RAZR is part of the RED(C) campaign;
8. LG Muziq LX570 (Pink) - External dial control with streaming
music;
9. Sidekick iD- popular horizontal slider with powerful messaging
features for texts and IMs; and,
10. HTC Touch - amazing touch screen phone for the gadget lover.
Westrick continued, "Valentine's Day is a time when we all try to
find that perfect gift for that special someone. We see one of our top
ten cell phones as a perfect alternative, or in addition to, the
standard heart shaped chocolates and two dozen roses."
