It’d probably do wonders for the visitor rate :)

An interesting, though not unexpected (for me) result. Not entirely convinced about the wax/wane idea of a relationship with a mobile though. They tend to get replaced too quickly for there to be a “waning” phase. Thinking back over my history of recent phones (9300, N80, N95, iPhone), each has been useful up to the point of replacement (at which point the new phone had a greater degree of uselfulness) and to a degree afterwards as well (I still admire my 9300 for its function and design, the N80 is now used by my wife, though sadly its capabilities are never tested by her, and the N95 was, even “is”, admired as a technological marvel, despite my current affair with the iPhone, which has less of the technology but a whole heap more to tempt the experience. (A sort of “blonde vs brunette” experience. The brunette is the dependable, always-there-for-you option but the blonde will always catch your eye!).

However I do agree about the inability to attain the perfect uber-gadget. The N95 was close but the screen was too small, the interface not ideal and as for “Downloads” and PC synching, don’t even get me started. The iPhone, well, it’s just that leggy blonde 😉
