Nokia E72 hits the U.S.

According to a survey commissioned by Nokia, whose Nokia E72 smartphone is in stores now, more than two-thirds (68%) of Americans plan to respond to work-related emails while on vacation or over the holidays this year. This is up from just over half (51%) who say they've exchanged work emails during the holidays in previous years.

The Nokia survey also found:
Drop the eggnog and reply to your boss
- Among those who use email for work, more than two-thirds (68%) say they
respond to "important work-related emails" in 30 minutes or less, with
38 percent responding within five minutes.

Age is of the essence
- The youngest adults (18-24-year-olds) are significantly more likely
than older generations to respond to work emails while taking time off
this holiday season (86% of 18-24 year-olds, compared to 61% among 35-
44 year olds and 67% among 45-54 year-olds).
- One in five of respondents aged 18-24 years feel guilty or fear their
job would be in jeopardy if they did not respond to work emails in a
timely manner.
- One in five of the 18-24-year-olds (19%) have missed an important
social occasion because they were unable to access email in time -
significantly more than any other age group.

Give and get
- Nearly one in five (19%) of 18-24-year-olds complete personal tasks
(e.g., chat with friends, shop online, make weekend plans) while at
work, while 22 percent complete work tasks (e.g. correspond with their
boss, check email, draft documents) while off work or during personal
time.

The online survey, commissioned by Nokia, was conducted by Fielded by Opinion Research Corporation on November 23-24, 2009. The survey reached 1,019 American adults 18 years of age and older. The data has been weighted based on U.S. Census data in regards to age, sex, geographic characteristics and race to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total U.S. population, 18 years of age and older. The margin of error for this sample is +/-3.1 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.
