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.
The perfect balance of powerful computing and thrilling multimedia, the LG eXpo for AT&T is the first smartphone in North America to use the Qualcomm 1 GHz processor, which offers fast processing speeds for running multiple applications without losing performance. In addition to a responsive touchscreen interface, the eXpo offers a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard.

Additionally, this phone is also compatible with 2100 MHz 3G networks found in international territories. (For use outside the United States, an AT&T international data plan is recommended.) When traveling outside the U.S., you can enjoy wireless voice coverage in more than 215 countries and wireless data coverage in more than 185 countries--as well as access ultra-fast 3G mobile broadband services in more than 100 countries.
In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and e-mail on the go.
