Nomophobia Attacks! Lookout Says 74% Of Users Panic Over Phone Loss; 58% Of Us Can?t Stay Away From Mobiles For More Than An Hour

The swing to smartphones and more immersive experiences using apps is having a major knock-on effect with how mobile handsets now figure in our lives. The Mobile Mindset Study, a new survey from mobile security developers Lookout using data commissioned from Harris Interactive, has found that three out of five smartphone owners in the U.S. do not go for more than one hour without checking their devices. The report also contains some data that speaks to where our priorities are when it comes to our phones. Some 94 percent of people worry about losing their devices -- with some 74 percent saying they panicked when they lost a phone in the past (and 14 percent describing their state as "desperate" and 7 percent as "sick"). But the main reason for that wasn't a worry about the loss of personal details, but the cost, hassle and inconvenience of replacing it.
