Each month, Brighthand publishes a list of the most popular handhelds and smartphones. This report is compiled based on the number of views each product page receives, so every time someone clicks on a product they're giving it a vote in these monthly rankings.
This listing doesn't necessarily indicate which models are the best selling, just which ones Brighthand readers are most interesting in learning more about during the preceding four weeks.
The newly launched Verizon XV6900 made the strongest showing last month, but it's the iPAQ 210 that holds the top spot on the list.
