Your cell phone may mirror your personality

The classic proverb "a person's eyes are the windows to his soul" might need revising. Amidst current rapidly growing developments in communication technology, your eyes are not the one and only window to your soul, reader. These are some findings I gathered after conducting what so-called unscientific, groundless research on a cell phone user personality. This is based purely on my daily observation, which of course you may or may not believe.

These are some characteristics a phone user may have based on some criteria.  Read it through and tell me if my 'research' findings are correct, exaggerated, or wrong. Based on cell phone's form factor
