You think that your handphone disturb you. I know it is a bit annoying when you are in the middle of doing something important, then out of sudden you received a phone call from a stranger. But whether you realize or not, handphone is a really important device, especially during emergency. So don’t treat your handphone as your enemy.

13-18
Handphone definitely play and important role in your life. And you manage to balance it well. You use it to help you still be accessible, and at the same time you also still keep your handphone up to date with the current model, and of course all these are done within your budget.

19-24
You really crazy about your handphone. To you, handphone is not only a communication device, but also a tool that you can use to show off. And feel good about it. You feel that you must always have the latest model regardless whether you can afford it or not. Actually, if your handphone is still in a good condition, there’s no harm for you to continue using it. And the extra money that you have, you can use it to buy other things.

Whichever your score is, to me as long as you are not using your blackberry as an earrings like the picture below, I think you are still normal :)
