Best- and Worst-Selling VZW Phones?

SystemShock

For those of us who are reps (either direct or indirect), question(s):

1) What are the best-selling three or five VZW phones?

2) Which phones are sales duds, i.e. you can not move them at all, no matter what?

3) What phones are 'boomerangs'?(they go out, but they often get returned, either for defects or 'cuz the customer just doesn't end up liking 'em). 😳

This sort of thing is just interesting to me. I have some hunches as to what sells and doesn't sell.

Oh, and I'm interested over in sales over the LIFE OF THE PHONE. Of course I get that the New Chocolate is prolly selling great, considering it just came out and VZW is promoting the hell out of it, but what phones continue to sell well even once outside of the launch w...

I can only give the ones that I've sold over the past three years.

1. Best, LG4400, LG6000, LG7000, Samsung 670, and Moto 710

2. Worst Selling, Samsung 610 the one with the pivot screen, no one wanted that HUGE phone. Any phone from Audiovox/UT Starcom.

4. Worst phone, LG4500, and Moto 120e or 120c, any phone from Audiovox/UT Starcom.

That's what I hear, but... wasn't the 9900 made for Audiovox by Toshiba?

All Audiovox phones were made by someone else for Audiovox. You are correct, the 9900 was made by Toshiba. The 8xxx series were made by UTstarcom with parts from Hyundai. I had an 8910 and it wasn't totally horrible but I know I got a creampuff.

The Nokia is a "boomerang" phone? Wow, isn't that the last true Nokia CDMA phone? Is it just because it's low on features? I can't imagine it being a poor-quality phone...

My Nokia 5160i had a monophonic ringer and having it on 7 (highest) acutally gave you a warning:

    NOTE:
Very loud ringer!!


That was a nice phone....

1) Best selling is def the 8300 by far here ppl love it. Also the 5300, the Krzr, and the u540.

2) Worst moto 276, all auiovox phones, the 325.

3) Most returned phones were the 276's, the 710's, and audiovox 8910's.

These are based on our sales in our area.
