Survey says: 35.9% of US teens bought cellphones for texting

Well, we already know that texting in the US breaks down by age (which makes sense), and now according to a recent survey by the IDC and SMS.ac, 35.9% of teens acquired their cellphones for the sole or main purpose of texting, while only 13.3% of them wanna get all old skool and actually talk. Although, bear in mind the study was done by SMS.ac so it might not be, uh, completely without bias. We are a little curious about what exactly the other 50.8% of those kids are doing with their cellphones, though.
