iPhone just took Motorola Razr's spot as the top handset bought by adults. According to the NPD, it's because of "watershed shift in handset design from fashion to fashionable functionality". It just so happens that the iPhone is the most fashionable and most functional handset in the market.
What's pretty funny is this: I remember in 2007 when the iPhone was announced, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer literally laughed at the phone's concept and ridiculed the idea that the phone would ever touch the all-mighty Windows Mobile's precious sales. That's the same thing he did when the Wii was introduced-- before it beat Microsoft's Xbox 360 by far and kept it that way to this day. Next time he predicts that something's going to lose to his products, please ignore him. He's not a professional analyst; he's just some guy who's trying to promote his own company and try to put fear into other people's products at the same time-- and failing at both.
