Stats on U.S. Cellphone Tracking & Snooping
by Kal ChebliAre you an avid BlackBerry user? You don’t have to be one to be a victim as addiction can occur with many other smartphones as well. Be aware of those around you curious as to why you’re always on your moible and who it is you may be talking to, or what it is you’re doing on there exactly. A recent study from Retrevo suggests some interesting statistics. Here’s highlights from the bundle, but you can also go ahead and read the full report using the link after the jump. It’s a scary thought knowing that over one third of people admit to having secretly checked a loved one’s call history or email. That’s life I guess, and if you’re head is stuck in your BlackBerry smartphone all day, your loved one might just want to check into what’s going on exactly. Here’s the stats:

- Dating & Snooping: Men are less likely to have secretly checked the call history or email of someone they were dating. (30% of men have done this, compared to 35% of women).
- Marriage/Partners & Snooping: Men are less likely to have secretly checked the call history or email of someone they were dating. (32% of men have done this, compared to 41% of women).
