You are what you call from?

Engagdet learns:

A survey of cellphone users in Australia, conducted by Panorama and released by Nielsen Media Research, has proved what pretty much everyone already knew: people are likely to base broad, stereotypical assumptions about you on your cellphone, just like they do with everything else you use and wear. We’re guessing this breaks down a bit differently in Aussieland, but here’s how mobile users tend to associate down under:

Nokia: Family-minded, middle aged managers, balance seekers, health conscious

Motorola: Fashion conscious, under 24, fun seekers, individualistic

Sony Ericsson: Ambitious young men, professionals, success driven, individualistic

LG: Favorite of mums, stay-at-home parents, success driven, harmony seekers

Samsung: Young women, career focused, success driven, fun seekers

What does that make you? I’m pleased to pigeon-holed with the Sony Ericsson demo, could be alot worse – you could have an SPV smartphone or something, I dread to think what the stigma would be! As for being judged by your phone, well I agree with it, to an extent, because let’s face it, we’re judged each and everyday on first impressions. Sure fashion in purest terms is down to clothing really, but these days, everyone carries their cell too, so why not use that as a means to judge someone?

It doesn’t ‘really’ stand-up though, I very much doubt N93i or N95 owners would agree with the portrayal of Nokia, and I wouldn’t blame them!

    Nothing wrong with an SPV! I happily owned one for a year and a bit… then dropped it and watched it smash into a million bits!

    Pssha, you know what I mean Stu! lol. I blame Brittney for moments like that! If you think about it, a ‘cell phone’ is a better description of these phones, than a mobile phone. I have a mobile landline, too… :P Landline’s dont connect to cellular networks though! :p
