That iPhone Is Burning a Hole In Your Pocket

What can we make of this credit card spending by smartphone platform data from Pageonce? That iPhone owners spend like crazy, and WinMo holdouts are probably saving up for a new phone, for starters.

The data was taken from a random sampling of 275,000 Pageonce users, and includes at least 5,000 users per platform. And it could mean a whole bunch of things! Either iPhone users spend more money on average, or they have more debt on average, or the simple averaging masks extreme expenditures at the high and low end. BlackBerry and iPhone are arguably the most commonly used enterprise phones, so that might have something to do with racking up higher monthly charges.

The study also took a look at monthly phone bill charges:

I find it a little odd how nokia phones aren't mentioned... are they really a dying company?

... I hope not because they make fucking awesome phones

Hmm... Glad I went with Microsoft. Better than apple and saves me money. Or maybe... maybe I should have bought an iPhone so that I could have so much money to spend. A good idea, yes?

Wow. I have trouble spending the minimum $10/month on my pay as you go. Are they all teenage girls or something?

Not gonna lie, I spend a lot of money, most of it on bills, but I'll usually spend a lot of money on apps too.

Too bad that this is a load of crap and there are still plenty of iPhone users spending less than everyone else a month. Statistics... gotta love them huh

I get the most content for the least cost from my ancient iPhone 3G. I want to upgrade once they sort out the antenna issues...I'll probably charge it.

Let me know when Skype releases a cell phone that uses a Linux OS. Until then, cellphones are all wastes of money.
