This is another one of those non-Yes/No polls where the wording on the "No" is important. I honestly think that was a very important part of making this poll have such close results.

Closest Call as of 3/7/08.

This is probably the best prediction accuracy I've seen on a poll to date. While the numbers aren't that surprising, the country rankings were. The most cell phone use goes to Finland. The Least goes to Canada, followed by Japan, followed by the USA. I've been really bad about posting these country breakdowns (even though I have all of them), but this one I might post later today since it interests me.

EDIT: I stand corrected, see post above.

The breakdown for the countries will come as soon as I get some time to do a little Photoshop magic. It's a little tougher than the normal breakdown by region screen since it has a lot of countries involved.
