The (average) BlackBerry user
Hi everyone!
I’m a student Communication & Multimedia Design from Holland and I’m doing a research about smartphone users. From the information I’ll collect I want to make personas, which are descriptions about the average user of a type of smartphone. I make distinction between providers of operating systems which are used by smartphones.
The providers are:
- RIM (BlackBerry)
- Apple (iPhone)
- Google Android (like HTC and Samsung)
- Symbian (like Nokia)
- Windows Mobile / Windows Phone (like Sony Ericsson)
From you I would like to know why you have chosen the smartphone you are using now, or want to buy. Which function, specification or other reason is, or was decisive; and why not a smartphone from one of the other providers I mentioned above. I’m not interested in answers like “I chose my iPhone because it looks beautiful” or “I chose the HTC Desire because of the many apps I can download”. Don’t be afraid to give a big description, the bigger the better (for me at least). ;) What I also like to know is when and where you use your smartphone, at school/work? Or when traveling by train or other public transport, etc.
I’m curious if you make your choices based on function or design, or maybe both. I hope to find out which functions are decisive. Like the HD recordings of the Symbian or the mail function of the BlackBerry.
When I finished my research and made up the results I definitly want to share these with you, if you are interested.
Many thanks for the onces who will help me with my research!

Thank you for your response.
First of all, what are locked bootloaders? I'm not familiar with that term.
Second, what makes the web experience from the Android better than, e.g. the iPhone? And when or in which case do you use your Android the most?
