Nokia tops the chart of most stolen handsets

[motz]

In a recent research conducted by Loughborough University, it has been found that Nokia mobile phones are the most frequently stolen handsets. Nokia 6230 was the most stolen one, accounting to 15.4% of all the phones. Second was the Samsung D500 with 8.2% and followed by Motorola RAZR with 5.4%.

Nokia: 55,783 (49%)
Samsung: 15,524 (13.6%)
Sony Ericsson: 15,090 (13.3%)
Motorola: 12,947 (11.4%)
Others: 14,451 (12.7%)
The reason about Nokia taking almost half of the stolen mobile phones market could be its higher resale value than its counterparts.

chav's (the lowlife scums) seem to favor Nokia's as they're cheap, whereas the people with class (like myself) go for a more uncommon classier phone!
