I love my cellphone

In an article today in the Financial Times, according to research carried out by Surrey University's Digital World Research Centre on behalf of the UMTS Forum, cellphone users have an emotional relationship and a psychological dependency on their mobile phones.

Some get a thrill out of receving a text message in public and others admit to texting their partner even though they are under the same roof. Interesting, the main finding, that mobile phone users call the same people more frequently rather than enlarging their circle of contacts. There goes believing that mobiles create opportunities for new business relationships.
