Android Dominates Wirefly’s Holiday 2010 List of Best Selling Mobile Phones

Wirefly, the Internet’s self-proclaimed leading authorized retailer of mobile phones and mobile phone plans, put together a top ten list of the best selling cell phones for 2010′s holiday season. Guess which phone wasn’t on the list?

If you said Apple’s iPhone, you win the no-prize, but there’s a huge caveat — Wirefly doesn’t sell the iPhone. In the iPhone’s absence, Android was able to dominate Wirefly’s list, accounting for all but one spot. Here’s how it broke down:

1. HTC Evo 4G (Sprint)
2. HTC Droid Incredible (Verizon)
3. Samsung Captivate (AT&T)
4. Motorola Droid X (Verizon)
5. Samsung Intercept (Sprint)
6. BlackBerry Torch (AT&T)
7. Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (AT&T)
8. Motorola Droid 2 Global (Verizon)
9. Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint)
10. Samsung Fascniate (Verizon)

With 2010 officially in the rear view mirror, Wirefly made several predictions for 2011. According to Wirefly, you’ll see an influx of affordably priced prepaid smartphones this year, particularly on the Android platform, and from manufacturers that are less established in the U.S. Wirefly also predicts that video chat will become the norm, and of course the online vendor has high hopes for 4G/LTE.
