Online retailer, Amazon.com has released a chart of the most popular items purchased by consumers through its website in 2010, along with the most popular gifts, and most wanted items.

In the mobile phone section, the Samsung Captivate Android Phone (on AT&T) was the most popular item brought by shoppers for their own use.

However, in the section for "most wanted gift", LG's KP500 Cookie smartphone was deemed to be most desirable, yet it was Nokia's N900 smartphone that ended up as the top selling gift. Potentially a lot of people wanted an LG and got a Nokia instead.
