Sony-Ericsson Black Diamond

I’d buy this just for chic appeal. Jaren Goh Design designed the forthcoming Sony-Ericsson Black

Collection of Cell Phone Usage Surveys

I love cell phones, but for the most part, I dislike cell phone users. Some of these results will make you cringe, and some will make you laugh. Here are a few excerpts:

• “83 percent of respondents said cell phones have made life easier, besting the Internet in second place at 76 percent”
• “15 percent of Americans have interrupted sex to answer a cell phone call”

• “38 percent said it was fine to use the cell phone in the bathroom.” ???? And that’s *down* from 62 percent in 2003
