Research firm Ofcom recently released its annual Communications Market Report that surveyed 2,073 adults and 512 teenagers in the United Kingdom. The results revealed that 32% of adults preferred using the iPhone as their primary handset while 37% percent of teens chose to carry a BlackBerry smartphone. Ofcom didn’t reveal whether it was cost or feature sets that drove the preference, however. The firm also found that 37% of adults considered themselves “addicted” to their smartphones while 60% of teenagers admitted being addicted. What was the most visited website on a smartphone?

    Bgr is so ridiculously apple biased and some people here are so blind and gullible it’s sad. I really hope apple pays them and they’re not just cock gobbling for no reason. If you’re going to report on a study, you report ALL the numbers, not just the ones that fit your skewed and biased point of view. If 32% and 37% of people are in favor of something 68% and 63% are not. Yet, in this article that 68% and 63% just disappears. To make a headline proclaiming UK adults prefer iPhone based on what a third of respondents said is utter bullshit. Geller and company need to get off their knees, take apple’s cock out their mouths and have some integrity.
