Bars and pie charts: a survey into mobile phone usage and owners

26 February, 2010
Android users are mostly males and iPod Touch owners are primarily teenagers. How do we know? We stumbled on a very interesting survey courtesy of AdMob, that's how. For example, did you know that...

      I don't believe that Nokia phones and all Symbian OS generate about 20% of the traffic.
      I very heavy internet user with my perfect phone Nokia N95 8GB. I browsing almost everywhere most populars websites and opening webpages quickly and without mistakes. I never use Nokia defoult web browser coz so bad and slow, instead i use Opera 5 Beta 2. It's perfect and i think most fastest and advanced internet browser for any smart phones.

        "I see no capability of an Iphone which the 5800 cannot match, However there are many fields where the 5800 exceeds the Iphone."

        LOL to that - how bout we start off with Visual Voicemail?

        Every new device that out over the past three years, they always say "this is the iphone killer" Now why would they wanna kill iphone? Because every manufacturer know that iphone is still unbeatable until now no matter what they say - just wait til this june and iphone will set the bar so high again that everyone will wanna "kill the iphone" LOL

                        need not to fight over Nokia or Apple friends....

                        Apple really generates that "APPLICATION DOWNLOADING INTERNET TRAFFIC"
                        Reasons we all know.

                        Apple need continuous updates, For that you need internet.
                        For any new apple application download, you need internet.
                        For any new ringtone, you need internet.
                        Android also need internet for updating.
                        But Symbian is free & open to all. We need not to buy applications for Symbian like in apple. That's why Symbian generates only 20% traffic of APPLICATIONS DOWNLOAD (because some intense Symbian application we need to buy).

                        And about having money or not to buy iPHONE as written in a comment below,i want to say something. I have 2 Lakh Rupees to buy a Laptop. But if my necessities is just using internet, web surfing and chatting why dont i purchase a Netbook like Dell Mini 10 in just Rs.25,000. It will be foolish to pay 2 Lakh for buying Dell Alienware Laptop for just Web Surfing.
                        If i can have all office, productivity, multimedia, security softwares available free in SYMBIAN why should i waste money in buying iPHONE applications? Better i donate that money to an orphanage.
                        Just trying to explain use or misuse of money by using SYMBIAN and iPHONE. (I prefer SYMBIAN & Windows OS.I own E63 & HTC HD2)

Better is as better does dependent on what you want to use it for. I like the iphone but prefer the n900 because of its awesome power - I need not convince anybody that one is better over the other so please don't try and convince me. Can't we all just get along!!!!!

                            [deleted post]Agreed - I think the Iphone amd Ipod are good devices but to post this report serves no real purpose, besides aren't most iphones sold with a data package? It does not seem that long ago when I a headline on this site discussed a DoS attack following their review of the Iphone - how things change.
