As our Canadian carriers bring on new technology and the network speeds gets faster we get more familiar with how these mobile devices can actually improve our life, specifically our adoption to Smartphones.

In Canada it’s estimated that 20% of our 22 million mobile phone (4.4 million) have a smartphone. Predictions are that this number will increase by 4. 5 million within a year.

A study by Solutions Research Group Consultants Inc. shows some dramatic number when it comes to Smartphone users. It showed that 82% of smartphone users sent a text message in the past month, compared with 57% of cellphone users. 57% of smartphone users who used the Internet browser in the past month, compared with 24% of cellphone users. And 44% of smart-phone users who downloaded an application, compared with 15% of cellphone users.
