 Lightspeed Research has released the results of a multi-nation study about cell phone use--and some of them are strange. For example, 13 percent of U.S. subscribers don't make calls, while 52 percent make at least one call per day. 35 percent never send text messages, but that's at least somewhat understandable.
You have to wonder what those 13 percent are doing with their cell phones. Do they use them as paperweights? Maybe just play Snake on them? I assume some of that group have cell phones as emergency-only devices, but that's a pretty large percentage.
The study also reported that women send more text messages than men, with 29 percent compared to 25 percent sending at least one text per day, whereas men and women make the same percentage of voice calls each day. In addition, mobile Web browsing is the most popular daily activity (at 14 percent), while taking photos is the most popular weekly mobile pastime (at 37 percent).

Who Cares? If those that text all the time actually used their cell PHONES as PHONES and CALLED the recipients of their texts they'd probably find out that they have nothing to say (that's relevant) in the first place. The City of Cleveland (Ohio) is cracking down on calling and texting while driving- they've had enough of cleaning up the mess after someone texting while driving causes accidents/deaths.
