The person I interviewed regarding his communication technology adoption life-cycle, is a friend of mine and his name is Osborn. He has a Palm hand-held which came with the Sprint network. Osborn said that he uses his phone for calls, emails, text messages, MMS, calender, taking pictures and recording videos, as well as the internet and goggle maps.
Based on his extensive use of his Palm hand-held, I would say he fits the description of an early adopter. After I explained him the context of my interest for his cell phone use, he agreed with the category I put him in the technology adoption life-cycle and added that he always tries to use his gadgets as much as possible.
To my follow up question if he would get another phone if money is not the issue, he said that he defiantly would get the new G1 phone featured by Google. He likes to use all the apps his phone offers and would like to improve his internet usage with a phone made for that task. Osborn pointed out that he doesn’t care which network provider he signs with as long as they have affordable plans.
I would say that Osborn is certainly an early adopter. He uses, according to him, all his apps and would like to be able to surf the internet more comprehensively with his portable devise.
