Study Shows Indicates Affluence of Western Smartphone Owners
Feb 19, 2008
Here's an interesting study from M:Metrics (thanks SMS Text News!) that ranks multimedia features in terms of usage on a smartphone.
Note how a significant portion (as high as 20% in Spain) of respondents say that they use their phones to listen to music. To someone living in the so-called third world, this is a clear indication that people in the Western world tend to purchase more full-featured (read:expensive) phones. That's what you get when you live in a society that still considers the smartphone and even the PDA phone as a call-and-text-first device.

Just because you buy a fancy phone doesn’t mean you use all it’s features. In some cases, those fancy features are difficult to use, either because of user interface, form factor, or both.
