Mobal, the international phone company. Mobal conducted the survey of
its customers after reporting an 80% increase in international cell
phone purchase during 2004, and believe the results show that US

It infects the Symbian operating system that is used in several

Virus used to be a Microsoft Windows affair, but now anything with

Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine
which competing label is better: "Cell
Phone" or "Mobile Phone"?
Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine
which competing label is better: "Cell
Phone" or "Mobile Phone"?
04/28/2004 11:39 AMOn the SIGIA-L mailing list, Stephanie Berger recently asked: "My
cohorts are not sure whether to use "cell phone" or "mobile phone".
Any evidence that one is better than the other, or one is used more
often than the other?"
This is a good example of the kind of labeling questions
information architects face all the time. The answer to these labeling
questions will depend on the target audience (a better label for
whom?), on business requirements (maybe the business want to promote
one term over the other) and on the context in which the label will be
used.
I'll discuss the conversation that followed here and afterwards
point to some useful tools for if you have a labeling question
yourself.
Andres Sulleiro: "Without any empirical data I will go with
my own opinion. [...] A quick survey of the phone carriers seems to
suggest that "wireless" (as in "wireless phone", "wireless customer")
is most common among US carriers, though you see some references to
"mobile" as well. T-mobile, a European company, uses "mobile" which is
more common in Europe as well as being the name of the carrier."
Method: check what other websites call it.
Jason Cho: "I think "cell" is more widespread in the US as
Andrés noted. "Call my mobile" can sound pretentious to Yankee ears.
But I would think everyone understands the term "mobile" on a business
card."
Method: personal experience.
Peter Van Dijck (and others): "Google for "cell phone" (including quotes):
6,230,000, Google for "mobile phone": 6,360,000.
Looks like a tie, assuming your audience is similar. Just pick one and
make sure your search engine knows both terms."
Christina Wodtke: "Y
ahoo for cell phone : 16,800,000, yahoo for mobile phone: 21,200,000. What does
this really tell you? you'd have to know who each engine indexes, how
much of the web, etc.. better to use a magic 8 ball. ;-)"
Method: check popularity of the terms on the web.
Peter Van Dijck: "My next step would be to find out what
people search for on your site,
or if not available, on the web (assuming that's more or less your
audience). Google
adwords can help."
Method: Find out what people (preferably your target
audience) search for.
Dave: "I like "mobile" for the reason that Christina stated
(forward compatibility); USers and non-USers will equally understand
it. Also, it is more interoperable w/ most of the vCard based
addressbook programs out there. I don't know any that are using
"cell" or "cellphone" ... I also like the clear and easy two word
approach of "mobile phone" ... I'm always wanting to say "cellphone"
where "cell phone" is really the more correct version. "cell" though
just doesn't feel like a real word b/c the "cell" doesn't fit a
meaning to me. I know what it means if I am forced to think about it,
but it really doesn't mean anything to me at all."
Method: personal experience, check what software programs
use.
Christina Wodtke: "> As can Ove
rture's keyword tool (couldn't find URL straight away).
You also might consider some adaptation of the freelisting
technique on a subset of your target. E.G., a write in survey: what
portable electronics do you own, then analyze for use of "cell phone"
and mobile phone".
Method: freelisting technique.
Eric Reiss: "Having worked closely with several
telecommunications companies, including Tellabs (US), Nortel (Canada),
ADVA (Germany), and NetTest (Denmark), this discussion is one I've
heard before. Europeans generally don't recognize the term "cell
phone." North Americans seem to accept both "cell" and "mobile." ATT
insists on promoting the term "wireless." In most instances, we've
agreed on the word "mobile" since it is understood by the widest
audience. Nortel, for instance, used "cell" almost exclusively until
the late 90s, but now leans toward "mobile." I think there is a trend
here."
Method: ask the subject matter experts.
Pabini Gabriel-Petit: "There's also Wordtracker.
[...]
In this vein, you might try just walking up to people, holding up your
cell/mobile phone, and asking them what they call it."
Method: Analyze what people search for.
Method: Find out what labels your users use.
Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine which competing label is
better.
So, as a review, here are some of the methods used to determine
which label is better.
1. What do you think?
Method: personal experience/insights.
2. What do your users think?
Method: freelisting
technique.
Method: Find out what labels your users use: show them the item
you're trying to label and ask them what it is. (You could build an
online tool for this).
Method: Find out what people (preferably your target audience)
search for / check popularity of the terms on the web. Ove
rture's keyword tool. Google
adwords. Wordtracker. Google and Yahoo both list how often a term is
used on the web (use quotes around your terms!).
3. What do the experts think?
Method: ask the subject matter experts.
Method: check what other websites/software call it.
Gotcha's: be careful when using these techniques. You are
looking for a label that works for your audience and your business
requirements. Most of these techniques use audiences that may be very
different from yours, and most are indicative only (ie: they're not
hard science). Use your judgement.

ll Phones Sales Skyrocket
"The worldwide market for cell phones is outstripping even the most
enthusiastic predictions from the beginning of the year, as consumers
continue to snap up handsets at a dizzying rate, according to research
released Monday by Gartner.
Handset vendors sold 132.8 million units in the
third quarter of this year, up 22 percent from last year's
third-quarter shipments of 108.8 million units, says Ben Wood, an
analyst with Gartner based in London. Gartner calculated the figures
using the number of units sold to end users, rather than units shipped
into the channel.
'The total market is on fire,' he says. 'We had
predicted about 470 million units for the year, but it's going to be
about 500 million this year.'
Mature cell phone markets such as western Europe
and the U.S. are going through a replacement cycle, as consumers with
older black-and-white phones are trading them in for new models with
color screens and cameras
, Wood says.
'We're getting to a point where a mobile phone is
as much about fashion as anything,' he says." [PCWorld.com]
It won't be much longer before purchasing a
mobile phone will be as much about utility (staying connected to the
internet) as anything.
