It wasn’t that long ago that the iPhone was crowned the second most popular headset in the US; The top being the Motorola RAZR. Now a study by NPD Group finds that during Q3 this year the Motorola king was finally dethroned and replaced by wonderful iPhone.

For the last three years, the Motorola RAZR was the top selling handset in the US. Until now, that is. Despite a 15% decline from the year-ago, the iPhone has taken the #1 spot in the US for consumer sales.

“The displacement of the RAZR by the iPhone 3G represents a watershed shift in handset design from fashion to fashionable functionality,” said Ross Rubin, NDP’s director of industry analysis.
