TDK Systems, which makes Bluetooth chips, decided to conduct a survey and find out whether people give nicknames to their mobiles. They do, as the company note on its press release for the results:

“There were quite a few Bluetooth devices that transcended the obvious and mundane names of the users,” said Dave Curl, head of public relations at TDK Systems. “We found ‘Predator’, ‘BluePower’ and ‘Boss 6310i’ but are still wondering about ‘Mike’s Smokin’ BT Machine’ and the curious ‘Sheep Shagger’ who took time away from his beloved flock to visit the show.”
