Although Nokia is the top mobile phone globally, U.S. teens prefer LG, according to Sulake, operator of the Habbo Hotel virtual world. LG’s popularity among U.S. teens has grown considerably, from its seventh position in 2008. While Apple’s iPhone ranked 15th globally in 2008, it came in fifth among global teens and third among U.S. teens in 2009.
