A survey that was recently conducted in the UK, which included the opinions of almost 4000 women, revealed that they would rather lose their boyfriends than their mobile phones!

The order of most precious possessions ranked as follows - 'Mothers' came in first. Photographs followed next. Then came in mobile phones, followed by best friends. Boyfriends ranked fifth. Almost 40% of the women said that losing their mobile handsets would be very devastating.

It is not totally bad news for boyfriends. Shinyshiny.TV reports that boyfriends still beat diamond rings, laptops and pets in being women's treasured possessions.

Perhaps mobile phones can be hailed 'king' of gadgets because of their small compact structure and inclusion of plenty of functionality (of many other gadgets) like photography, video recording, entertainment, route navigation, internet connectivity, access to emails, social networks and more.
