How Do You Use Your Phone? We Are Determined To Find Out

A large part of our job as phone reviewers involves judging of whether a particular compromise made by the designers is beneficial to the handset's target audience or not.  But we thought it would be nice if we simply asked you about it. You know, just to confirm that we are on the right track.

Naturally we would also be sharing the results with you as we believe they will make an interesting read for the average user and that they will be useful to anyone in the industry. The feedback of such a huge group of people with keen interest in and deep knowledge of cell phones like you just can not be overlookded.
We will be publishing the finalized survey and opening the voting next week and you are all welcome to participate. Oh, and thanks for helping.
