Here's an interesting link which shows the details of a substantial survey about mobile trands in the UK.
It is sponsored by CPW but don't let that put you off as it was conducted by the London School of Economics.
Some really interesting stats.....
To Whet your appitite: "The survey, conducted by the London School of Economics and Carphone Warehouse, polled over 16,500 young people in the UK to find out how mobile phones have changed the way we live.
Over a quarter of people aged 18-24 highlighted their mobile phone as more important than the internet, TV, MP3 player and games console. Only 11 per cent chose TV, while nearly half voted for the internet.
One in 10 under 25s admitted to being addicted to their phones to some degree.
The respondents were also more likely to send a text message than initiate a phone call, sending on average 3.6 text messages a day compared with 2.8 voice calls.
Over 40 per cent of workers believe themselves to be constantly on call from their employer by using a mobile phone for work.
The survey also found that people were more likely to turn off their mobile phone in a cinema than during sex."
