Remember when Steve Ballmer said that there’s “no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share?” Well, according to Nielsen, the iPhone 3G is presently the number one mobile handset in the US, holding 4% of the souk. Not bad for a smartphone, eh, Steve?

The iPhone 3G is tailed by RIM BlackBerry 8300 Series with 3.7% and the Motorola RAZR V3 series with 2.3% of the souk, whereas the rest of the best ten list consists chiefly of LG and RIM devices, with Samsung SPH-M540 snugged into the 6th place. Add the ratios of numerous LG or RIM devices up, and Apple is no lengthier number one; but Apple makes merely one handset – the iPhone – and one can’t deny they’re doing mighty good.

Nielsen also lists the most popular websites accessed over mobile handsets: leading the pack, of course, is Google Search, but Google’s Gmail takes merely the 3rd place, aftzer Yahoo’s free mail service. The Climate Channel grasps the 4th place, verifying that many consumers still access the internet over the handset only to find out if it’s going to rain, whereas the pervasive Facebook is in the 5th place.

As far as brands on mobiles go, Yahoo is the most popular brand, followed by Google and MSN/WindowsLive/Bing. AOL and the Climate Station grasp the 4th and the 5th place, whereas Facebook has to settle for being the 6th most popular brand on mobiles.
