A recent study found that 29.4% of all online searches for consumer electronics among UK Internet users were mobile phones. According to web traffic analysts at Hitwise, Apple's iPhone leads the Top 5 most-searched gadget brands, with Nokia grabbing second place.

Since the iPhone’s launch, it has apparently remained at or near the top of the list of most searched consumer electronics. The iPhone has only been temporarily overtaken by new “it” products like the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

The list of Top 5 most-searched gadget brands is dominated by Apple, with Finnish phone-giant Nokia grabbing second place with half as many searches. The only other mobile phone maker to break into the Top 5 was Samsung. Still, it should be noted that Nokia was the only dedicated mobile phone vendor to break into the Top 5 list.
