Smartphones, such as iPhones, Androids and BlackBerrys, are a hot topic right now. Most of us have one, or we are desperate to get our hands on a newer, snazzier model.

On the street, you can spot a smartphone user at a hundred paces. They stumble along hesitantly, echoing the drunkard shuffle. Rather than sporting a vacant inebriated look, “smartphoners” stare at their hands with possessed concentration, their fingers flying about a tiny screen at lightning speed.

Indeed, it seems I am not the only one who has noticed this condition. New York is currently considering a bill that would effectively ban pedestrians from using mobile phones when crossing the road.

Thing is, smartphones are pretty amazing devices: you can basically run your entire social and business life from them. And therein lies the catch.

Many of us have two phones: one for work AND one for personal stuff. Would it not be better just to have one?

Join the smartphone debate!

We want to know where you stand on this issue, so we slapped together the smartphone debate. It is a short survey, which takes about 90 seconds to complete.

And to thank you for your efforts, we are giving away five very exclusive, very desirable (let’s be honest, very sexy) Naked Security t-shirts.

Naked Security t-shirt winners will be contacted on International Looooove day: Monday February 14. Who knows, instead of a valentine, you might find out you have won the coolest t-shirt in town!
