[Sigia-l] most understandable phrasing

[Christina Wodtke]

Yahoo for cell phone 16,800,000
http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv2-&ei=UTF-8&p=cell+phone
yahoo for mobile phone 21,200,000
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=mobile+phone&ei=UTF-8&fr=slv2-&n=20&fl=0&x=wrt

What does this really tell you? you'd have to know who each engine indexes,
how much of the web, etc.. better to use a magic 8 ball. ;-)

I personally would go with mobile in hopes of forward compatibility. and as
peter said, have a good CV to back you up in searching.
