Oh, and he’s got an iPhone too, which he loves. Stephen, if you’re reading, come and do more gadget group tests for Tech Digest! Er, as long as we don’t have to pay you by the word, obviously…

Surprisingly, a vast majority of users of Blackberry, Blackjack, Pearl, Nokia, Treo, LG, Motorola Q, iPhone and all smartphones say they now use them solely for e-mail and text messaging with an occasional disappointing peak at the web.
