The Guardian has a fun quiz (http://www.guardian.co.uk/quiz/questions/0,5961,575274,00.html?) which classifies mobile user profiles as types of birds (apparently that's from a serious Motorola study).

According to the quiz results, I am a pigeon, a "common, garden-variety user," who "still can't quite work out how to download ringtones." How true. That's why I usually transfer them directly via Bluetooth to my handset.

Heh, I'm a penguin:

"Penguin
Old-fashioned and flightless. You make tutting noises at teenagers texting each other on the bus. Please enter the 21st century, because your friends are tired of having to show up on time for pre-arranged meetings."

It just goes to show, you can be a gadget geek and still be old fashioned... ;)

Craig.

Don't worry, i'm a penguin too.

And a decade younger at least.

Settle down, sonny! I'm only 37, ya know! :skull:

Craig.

*grin*

Let's not talk about age, it's depressing enough that it's soon my birthday ;(

Come come mr Barnett. It was a positive comparison. 'Even I' am a penguin. You're not alone. ;)

<G> No offence taken, seriously!

:hanged:

:shocked3: :whip:

:furious2:

:behead2:

:stunned: I love these smilies....

I'm a... Peacock
"You buy a new phone every time the technology is out of date, or every six months, whichever is sooner. Your current phone allows you to create animated short films and download music from Napster."

"Parrot
Loud, brash and unaware that your need to constantly be in touch with others marks you out as insecure. You can no longer commit to plans more than four hours in advance. Fellow commuters know the names of your lovers, pets and parents."

Funny.

"Peacock." True, I use my 6230 to download Podcasts so I can enjoy "Al Franken" show on the go. FM radio is useless when you take the subway to/from work. But no, short animated films is not my cup of tea. It's tempting though to try converting video to fit my 6230 just to know how easy/difficult it is.

Same here. Guess that's why I have a Treo 600 now (the SE T616 might go bye bye really fast) and will get whatever new Treo comes out this fall.

I'm a Peacock too, though I don't think having a Razr qualifies.


Does it?

I hope not. I got my ladi a RaZR; so I guess if she isnt one (???) then you cant be either :D
