Top 5 Best-Selling Cell Phones for Black Friday, Cyber Monday in 2009

We learned on Wednesday that mobile Internet traffic on Black Friday dominated over Cyber Monday in 2009. But which cell phones and smartphones were the top-selling picks by consumers?

Simplexity, which is an Internet retailer of cell phones and plans, announced on Tuesday that the five best-selling cell phones and smartphones during this Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 27, 2009, which was Black Friday, to Nov. 30, 2009, which was Cyber Monday) were:

1. DROID by Motorola for Verizon Wireless: This touch screen, full-keyboard slider smartphone has surprised the wireless world with one of the strongest debuts since the iPhone. Featuring Google's Android 2.0 operating system, the DROID features a large and brilliant display, free turn-by-turn GPS navigation and a high-quality camera.

2. BlackBerry Bold 9700 for AT&T: The 9700 (also known as the Bold 2) is the successor to the high-end BlackBerry Bold that was released in 2008. It's the thinnest and lightest BlackBerry yet and it has 3G speeds and Wi-Fi (for getting online at Starbucks, for example, instead of using AT&T).

3. BlackBerry Storm2 9550 for Verizon Wireless: While this next generation of the BlackBerry Storm touch screen phone looks like the original Storm, it features upgrades such as Wi-Fi and an improved typing system for more accurate and speedy text entry.

4. Samsung Impression A877 for AT&T: This phone has the nation's first AMOLED display, which is designed to provide a crisper and brighter screen. It also features a 3-megapixel camera and camcorder, a full keyboard and a 3.2-inch touch screen that's visible even in direct sunlight.

5. Palm Pre for Sprint: This is the first smartphone to be equipped with Palm's innovative WebOS user interface. The Pre has excellent multitasking abilities, a bright touch screen, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi and a 3-megapixel camera.
