Going Out Tonight? You’re Being Judged by Your Smartphone.
True story. www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk has found that 1/3rd of people in the UK are turned off by someone with a smartphone they consider ugly. Interestingly, women see BlackBerry devices as the ‘most attractive’ phone for men to own. This is accompanied with the regard to the owners as being ‘confident and successful’, which indeed could be shocking to those with an iPhone or Samsung in their pockets.
More so, the survey of 1,900 single men and women that reside in the UK found that, men find the iPhone the sexiest device for women to own because it makes them appear ‘stylish’.
Top 5 devices women favor for men as follows:
1. BlackBerry Z Series – 36%
2. Apple iPhone (any model) – 31%
3. Sony Xperia Series – 29%
4. BlackBerry Bold Series – 25%
5. Samsung Galaxy S Series – 21%

While HTC didn’t break the top 5 for either sex, 4% of men and 6% of women find the smartphone brand attractive.
Director of MobilePhoneChecker.co.uk Adam Cable, went on to say:
“Singletons with HTCs might need to watch out- it appears they may work against you when trying to attract a partner. If you’re having trouble, maybe borrow a mate’s iPhone or BlackBerry. That way, you can be confident that you ooze success and style without your phone letting you down.”
