Ask me how I like my Cellphone?

The Associated Press recently did a poll of a little over 1200 cellphone users. The results of the poll can be found here; Washington Post Article (Free Registration).

The majority of those responding to the poll like technology, but most could live without their cellphone. Many though would miss it.

Features, such as Video Games, Music and Cameras aren’t important to most users. They aren’t always truthful to others as to their location while on the phone.

Users like the idea of being able to text message to and from cell phones, but most do not want to have Instant Messaging from their PC’s being sent to their phone.

A cellphone is a personal device and not usually shared with other users. Most have customized their phone. They don’t think they are being bothered by too many people having the means to get in touch with them.

The majority of the users have not given up their landline phone, and in fact they use their landline phone more. They are not very likely to give up their landline phone, even though the cellphone is on most of the time.

Most users think that at times people using their phones around them are loud and annoying. They however do not think that other people are giving them dirty looks or drawn criticism about their cellphone behavior.

Users are not shocked by the size of their bills, they don’t feel the need to use their free minutes nor are they concerned about making phone calls t times to use those free minutes.

I have to admit a few things surprised me but most of it is as I suspected. And most of it also fits me.
