Special Report: The Mobile Devices that Mobile Experts Use

What Would a Mobile Expert Do?

If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that I routinely publish interviews with enterprise mobility experts.  You also know that I often ask them about the mobile device(s) they carry.  In this report, I have gone back over 17 recent interviews and collected the data on my interviewees' mobile device ownership and use.
 
Mobile Device Ownership Data:

• 82% own iPhones
• 53% own BlackBerrys
• 24% own Androids
• 8% own Windows 7
• 82% own iPads

Primary Work Phone:

• 59% use iPhones for work
• 35% use BlackBerrys for work
• 0% use Androids for primary work phone
• 8% use Windows 7 for primary work phone

Primary Personal Use:

• 71% use iPhones as a personal or dual purpose phone
• 24% use BlackBerrys as a personal or dual purpose phone
• 0% use Androids as a personal or dual purpose phone
• 8% use Windows 7 as a personal or dual purpose phone

Interesting Statistics:

• 100% of Mobile Experts that use BlackBerrys at work own iPads
• 80% of Mobile Experts that use iPhones at work own iPads
• 50% of Mobile Experts that use BlackBerrys at work, use an iPhone for personal use
• 90% of Mobile Experts that use iPhones at work, use an iPhone for personal use
• 24% of Mobile Experts own Android devices, but nobody (0%) use them as their primary work or personal phone - they are demo phones or back-up phones only.

I realize this report consists of data gathered from only 17 mobility experts, but it is interesting data nonetheless.
