Survey: Blackberries are from Mars, iPhones are from Venus.

'it could have something to do with a larger number of males in corporate America using company phones connected to enterprise email systems or that iPhones are just more fun,' the survey authors observed.

The survey also found that iPhone users claim to do more with their phones than Blackberry users.

'They use more smartphones apps (no kidding – 100,000 more), they use their smart phones more for activities like watching videos, checking sports scores, and texting and they even watch more adult material on their iPhones than BlackBerry owners,' the survey noted.

A funny bunch these smartphone users

On the other hand the respondents would appear to be a rather narcissistic and shallow bunch, who surely can't be representative of all smartphone users.

'If you’re looking to hook up with an smartphone owner you better have the latest gadgets as 34% of iPhone owners and 29% of BlackBerry owners think old gadgets on a potential partner are a turn off,' the survey noted. It also discovered that iPhone users 'find cool gadgets "most attractive" about a person, and three times more than they find a college degree attractive.'

And 35% of iPhone owners said they they would be turned off by a partner with 'out of date gadgets.' Make that 29% of Blackberry owners. And while none of the sample thought it was acceptable to propose marriage by text or email, 33% of iPhone owners and 22% of Blackberry owners said it was OK to break up this way.

And the strange social perspectives of the respondents was surely underlined by the fact that it was conducted from a sample of just '445 iPhone and Blackberry owners distributed across gender, age, income and location in the United States.'

All the same there are political surveys done with similar sample sizes.
