Too Many Disconnects in Sprint's Wireless Phone User Survey

DDI: 55/100

With wireless phones rapidly growing as a direct marketing and advertising channel, executives promoting products to technology-conscious consumers will find only a smattering of worthwhile data points in this study. Among them: Respondents use their camera phone while shopping (18 percent), to retrieve maps or directions (63 percent) and for business purposes (15 percent). But that's about it. Also note the sample favors females and consists entirely of current cell phone users.
