New Study Paints iPhone Owners as Materialistic, Fickle Egomaniacs
ReadWriteWeb —
... has done. (Perhaps they want to sell more Blackberry phones?)

iPhone user survey gives excuses to dump gadget-undesirable romantic partners
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
... It is with great sadness that I write you at home to your Gmail account to inform you that I am intending to sell your ring on Ebay and we will part ways. You see, ours was a mixed relationship to begin with. You have your Windows 7, your Linux, your original Android phone from T-Mobile in the UK. I have my iPhone, my iMac and everything good that's Apple (and even a few pieces that aren't.)
That's why I know it'll never work out between us. According to a recent study from Retrevo, iPhone owners believe that a "cool gadget" makes a person far more ...
Is the iPhone romance fizzling out?

Dating habits of iPhone users revealed
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
Hey, fresh this morning from the spurious but strangely amusing iLifestyle desk comes a break down of the dating habits of iPhone users.. According to Retrevo (remember them, they told Apple what to charge for its current fantasy tablet product last week), iPhone users are gadget-friendly, like things up-to-date and don’t demand a college degree in their future partner, just so long as they’re digitally switched-on (and don’t jabber too much on the phone). Retrevo asked, "What makes a person most attractive to you?" iPhone ...
iPhone Love Connections
The iPhone Blog —
... what does that mean for your love life?
You prefer gadget lovers to the college educated
1/3rd of you have dumped someone over SMS or email
1/3rd of you have outdated gadgets were a turn-off
1/5th of you have admitted to using the iPhone to get your porn-on (twice as many as BlackBerry users)
1/4th of you have dumped someone for using their own mobile too much.
So, iPhone users, are they painting a fair picture?

Survey: iPhone Users Are Dogs
Alice Hill's Real Tech News - Independent Tech —

It tried to determine an iPhone user’s personality profile . One thing’s clear: in terms of dating, iPhone users are dogs. Why is that? Well, One in three iPhone owners has texted or emailed their significant other to break up. That’s pretty lame, isn’t it. Other interesting statistics about iPhone users: Obviously, this isn’t a non-scientific survey, and all in good phone. Somehow, I don’t doubt the “texting to break-up” answer, though. ...
