Phone snooping seems like a social variable many people (and device designers and engineers in particular) would do well to take into account, considering the variety of cultures that use these things around the world.

I remember reading a “Android users give their opinion on the new iOS features” article, or somesuch, and the iPhone-using author was surprised to learn that someone absolutely hated a new feature that allowed quick access to the contacts most often used. The author had only considered it as a bit of convenience for the user, but the interviewee though it was too private a thing to automatically show to anyone who got their hands on their phone.

Good remark, but I think that phone designers actually want users to share as much as they can to their contacts. Their business model is about the users leaking as much info as possible about themselves and whom else are they more inclined to give personal info than to their friends and family? That is probably the reason they are blind to users who want to keep some info private.
