Although voice communication is the main reason for using mobile phones, the survey showed that data and multimedia services are becoming a key usage driver. For example, almost 40% of mobile owners are now regularly sending and receiving text messages. And camera phone use has also jumped, as 22% said they took a photo with their camera and 12% said they sent or received MMS in the first three months of 2005."</i><br /><br />This really doesn't surprise me. Home Internet access is shared by multiple people in a household, but each individual has their own mobile phone. It's good to hear that mobile revolution is growing. Windows Mobile Smartphones are positioned nicely to grow along with the market. :D
