Blackberry owners check emails on X-mas day
77% of Blackberry owners won’t get a proper break from work this Christmas and many will even check their work emails on Christmas day.A study of over 1,000 smartphone owners found that the vast majority of workers will check their mobile over the festive season, with two thirds doing it on a daily basis.
45 percent said they will keep their work Blackberry on them at all times - in case something important crops up - and 26 percent said checking emails is a habit they are unable to break.
All of this is despite the fact that 49 percent expect their Christmas Blackberry use to prompt a fight with family members... presumably via email or text.
A spokesperson for Rightmobilephone.co.uk, which commissioned the study, said: "I wasn’t surprised by the number of people who said they will be checking their smartphones this Christmas.
"Checking emails is a hard habit to break, especially in the case of the Blackberry when that flashing red light catches your eye!"
