Your Mobile Phone Tells People That You Are…

…stylish? Fun? Sporty?

You see, according to a research study done by the Nielsen Media Research, your mobile phone choice actually has got a lot to say about you. And Jody Loughlin, the associate director of Nielsen, does continue to explain that “all makes of mobile phone had a wide spread of customer types, but some customers were more attracted to certain brands than others.�?

Loughlin also does continue, “It’s clear that many Australians chose a phone that says something about them, and that the type of mobile you’re seen with could even be more important than whether you’re with Telstra, Optus, Vodafone or one of the other major carriers.�?

And as Nielsen does some categorizing and classifications, here is the list of the top five mobile phone brands and what they tell about its owner:

Nokia - the choice of family-minded, middle aged managers

Motorola - favored by fashion conscious under 24s

Sony Ericsson - for ambitious young men trying to make their mark

LG - favored by moms

Samsung - for young women focused on their career
