Are You a Caller or a Texter?

There is a theory going around that people rely on either calling or texting as a primary form of communication with their cell phones. I am suspicious of most statistics and did not really believe it; I thought that everyone texted on a fairly regular basis. That was until I met a few guys at a bar and we moved onto the topic of texting, mainly because of my cute orange enV (it matches my car). I had told them that I needed a full querty because of texting. That was when they informed me, to my horror, that they only text, maybe, a few times a week. I think they were equally as shocked to learn that I have to delete my full inbox on a daily basis. So here's the math on my last phone bill:

Texting: 1108
Minutes: 1476

It appears that I both talk and text fairly equally. However the majority of the minutes used are not short conversations, they are mostly 40 minute (or more) conversations. I would say that my cellphone usage breaks down to quick conversations are done over text, and longer more important ones are done voice to voice.

What are you? Post your cell data!
