On average, O2 smart phone owners now spend over two hours a day using their devices, but talk only 12 minutes, and text only 10 minutes.
Smartphone users spend more time browsing the internet (25 minutes a day), social networking (17 minutes a day), playing games (13 minutes a day) and listening to music (16 minutes a day) than they do making calls (12 minutes), O2 says.
That illustrates the multi-function nature of smart phones, as well as the key role smart phones now play in a full range of "Internet access" activities.
Checking or writing emails represents 11 minutes of activity a day. Watching video consumes 9.4 minutes a day, while reading books represents about 9.3 minutes a day.
People spend about 3.4 minutes a day tacking pictures, as well.
