As if there would every be any question about it, the Apple iPhone and iPhone 3G have topped the latest survey conducted by JD Power & Associates. The 2009 Wireless Consumer Smartphone Satisfaction Survey shows the phone taking the lead in most areas.

With a score of 791 out of 1,000, Apple excelled in all areas including operating system, operation, features and design receiving 5/5 stars. However, it received a 2/5 for the battery category. LG and Samsung followed with scores of 772 and 759, respectively.

Also released today was the 2009 Wireless Traditional Mobile Phone Satisfaction Study which showed LG coming out on top with a 733 score. Sony Ericsson followed with a score of 712. Interestingly enough, those who still used traditional mobile phones remain mostly satisfied, even though they know smartphones carry additional feature sets.
