Android Phones for Women Survey: Follow-Up
You all did an awesome job filling out our “Android Phones for Women” survey, ladies! We have some really valuable data here. I think I must have hit a nerve with some of the questions, because we got really passionate answers — sometimes with polar opposite views!
I am well aware that you can’t lump everyone into one category, and that every woman is different and uses her phone differently. However, I believe there are some ways that women use their phones, and some features they desire, that manufacturers will miss if they don’t design it with females in mind.
So, I have an idea for how we can use this info… let’s design the perfect Android phone for us! That doesn’t mean it’s a phone that men can’t also use, but that it is designed to have the features that the majority of survey respondents cared about, and we’ll ask additional questions to fine-tune the results.
We can combine brainpower and opinions of the 150+ women that answered the survey and gather additional data about specific features to create the “Ultimate Android Phone for Women”. What do you think?
And just to give you a taste of the results, here are the responses from the first few questions about phones and carriers:

| Sprint | 13 | 8.50% |
