Virgin: 56% of Canadians rather hold their cellphone on Valentine’s Day

Virgin Mobile has conducted another brilliant survey. This time is based all around Valentine’s Day. The survey shows that 56% of Canadians, aged 18 to 34, would rather hold their mobile phone than their partners hand.

And another staggering result is that 40% would give up their Valentine before their phone?? Whacked. Some more stats are recorded that 52% say their mobile phone is with them all day, every day. The survey was done between February 4th & 5th, 2009 of 1,000 randomly-selected Canadians.

Nathan Rosenberg, Virgin Mobile’s CMO said “Clearly, people have a deep love affair with their mobile phones, especially younger Canadians, and this survey shows just that… Virgin Mobile is happy to report that love is still alive, despite the deep bond that some people have with their mobile phone.”
