Love in the air for mobile users: what does your smartphone say about you?

When it comes to owning a smartphone, we all have our preferences, be it Android phones, Windows phones, iOS or otherwise. What does your choice say about you though?

We all have our reasons for our choices, but what does your smartphone say about you, or your attitude to love, romance and relationships? Here are a few interesting findings.

Did you know, according to a Match.com survey, that Android phone users are most likely to dabble in online dating. Up to 72 per cent have visited online dating sites, while 58 per cent of iPhone users and 50 per cent of BlackBerry owners have done so, too.

And BlackBerry owners are clearly lovestruck hopefuls – 67 per cent revealed that they’ve experienced love at first sight. They are also more likely to drink on a date, too, so make of that what you will.

And those looking for office romance? Your best best bet is to seek out iPhone owners, who are most likely to date someone from the same workplace. They are eager, too: only waiting just a day to make contact after a date.

Which brand of smartphone do you own? Do you share the views of your fellow smartphone users? Maybe you’re a BlackBerry owner that has been struck by Cupid’s arrow on site? Let us know in the comments section below.

iPhone: Most commonly a mindless moron who is very easily led and obviously loves heavily restricted Phones. Android: Someone who loves to use their phone the way THEY want to without any tiresome restrictions. Windows: A potential geek who swears by every thing Microsoft, or hasn't quite been won over by android, or not easily brainwashed into getting an iPhone.
