Survey suggests Blackberry owners are cheap skinflints
Don't blame us, businessmen, blame MobileRated...
What mobile users are the most keen to trouser free games for their handsets, d'you think? Nokia owners? People with Sony Ericssons? Your gran with her 1987-issue Motorola?
Nope. According to figures released by free games site MobileRated, it's those innocuous-looking business types with their Blackberry email devices.
The Blackberry 8100 takes top spot in the firm's Handset Top Ten, with the Blackberry 8700 taking sixth spot.
However, newish phones from Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia are all represented too. The full list is:
1. RIM Blackberry 8100
2. Sony Ericsson K750i
3. Motorola V3
4. Nokia 6620
5. Sony Ericsson K810i
6. RIM Blackberry 8700
7. Nokia N70
8. Sony Ericsson K800i
9. Nokia 6280
10. Nokia 6600
MobileRated says the fact that lots of high-end phones are in the list indicates that even when playing free games, people want the latest technology. I say it means city fat cats prefer to spend their bonuses on third homes and mistresses rather than paying for mobile games. But as you wish.
