Top 10 Mobile Phones South Africa

This is a follow up to the Top 10 Mobile Websites in South Africa… I have overheard many conversations from local companies and web entrepreneurs wanting to build iPhone or Google Android applications. Even a radio ad or 2 prompting user to download their iPhone app. How many of those individuals who actually hear your radio ad actually have iPhones? I’ve pretty impressed with what Motribe are doing by harnessing the native web to reach the users without the need for an app. To reach the developing wwworld and the millions of users who are browsing the web via a browsers like Opera Mini your app has to work in a browser. These are the top 10 mobile devices according to Opera Mini for October 2010

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic
Nokia 2700c
Nokia 2330c

Samsung SGH-E250
Nokia 5000d
Sony Ericsson W205
Nokia 7100s
LG KS360

This reporting is flawed as it’s opera browser biased, it only shows data for phones that use opera browser. This means that data is skewed away from android and iPhone. Stats about hand set usabge from vodacom or Admod would help paint a better picture.
