Is your cell phone a reflection of you?

[goodchild]

Many believe that a person's cellular phone hints at one's personality. At least that's one of the reasons manufacturers keep releasing new models, as they believe that a phone is more than just a tool, but it's an accessory.

What does your phone say about you?
Do you believe that your phone gives the right perception of your personality?
How often do you change your phone?

Please share and post a picture of your phone if you can!:bgrin2:




I have had my Motorolla pebl since June of this year and I think it gives an hint at my personality. It says I'm chic, modish and definitely sophisticated! I've attached two images of my phone, but couldn't get them bigger!

How often do I change my phone? Well only when they are damaged do I change my phone and that's approximately four to seven months. Not because I want to upgrade but really because I'm rather clumsy and my phones usually fall quite often. Since 2005 I've changed a motorolla razor, nokia, motorolla v60 and I definitely hope to keep this one until the end of next year!

I have the Kyocera Strobe.

What it says about me? Hmmmm....I got it from my ex-DH who was going to toss it. It has a full keyboard and since I have teenagers, this makes texting my kids a breeze. I guess it says that I am cheap enough to accept a hand-me-down phone and I and immature enough to text with kids? :tongue2:

Lol! I guess it also says you have a great sense of humor!

I have a black motorola razr v3. I'm not sure what it says about me though, but I like it's options.

edited to add: I change them whenever I wear the last one out. I had my last motorola for 3 years.

My phone pretty well just makes phone calls (and is the only phone I have). It can also take pictures but they're not that great, and it can check my email but the network hasn't been working right lately. It's pretty beat up. I had one just like it before, for probably two years or so, but it stopped working. I think I must have gotten it wet at some point. They didn't sell it anymore at the Sprint store and there wasn't another one I liked better, so I just got another of the same kind on Ebay. I dropped it on the floor at Staples a few months ago and the little button on the back that you push to take off the battery cover flew off, so now that part doesn't stay on all that well. But it still makes phone calls and I'll replace it when it falls apart so much that it's not really usable anymore. I would say my phone doesn't really reflect my personality, but maybe it actually does, since it's a little beat up and pretty well out of date but still works fine.

The funny thing is, the phone I had before this one (well, before the one that was like this one that I had before), I had another model that broke and I inherited my mom's phone which was the same model as that one and used it until it also broke. Then I got a different kind because they didn't sell that model anymore. So out of the last four phones I've had, I've only actually had two different models.

This is the one I have now:

This is the one I had before:

And before that I had this one:

For some reason I seem to have an aversion to the typical clamshell and candy bar phones.

Razors are sexy and sleek, but mine lasted only two months! I think phones are not being made as strong as they use to as the manufacturers want people to purchase the later models. Also, maybe the smaller and thinner the phone, the more fragile it is

Or maybe I'm just clumsy as I said before, but the phone (samsung) I had before 2004 lasted three years and I can't even count the numerous times it fell!

Actually, the one you have now is kinda cute

I have the LG Chocolate phone in Mint.

It says that I LOVE the color green. That's probably about all it says about me. I do have a cute picture of my cat on the screen.

I like the light touch buttons too.

I don't change my phone very often. I just got this one a couple of months ago and I'll probably keep it til it totally dies.

Neither do I George.

 

[larasteele]

Can't find a photo of my cell phone....

But it does say something about me. It's a Motorola V557 phone; I basically bought the one that looked the sturdiest, and the clerk told me would withstand wear and tear. LOL! I did not have a personal cell phone until last year, but spent enough time with the on-call phone for work that I knew I needed a tough phone. (I broke the on call phone! I dropped it on a tile floor! Ooops.)

In spite of the sturdy nature of my phone, it has scuffs and scratches....LMAO....I'm just too clumsy.

My phone says "Ouch."

My Company Leash

This is my phone, it's a company issue, part fun, part leash! It has GPS which is cool.

It's high tech and sexy like the woman who carries it, of course

PinkPanther 04, Phil carried a phone like your blue flip phone for a few years. He liked it alot. Now he carries a little phone of some kind, lol. And Sheila, I use my phone for my alarm as well. IT IS SO ANNOYING!!!!!

WOOT! DARN THAT THING IS SEXY AND MIGHT I ADD HOT:bgrin2:

 

[jesique]

Oh yeah...and I forgot to mention...

My current ringtone is "Roxanne" by The Police.

Which says that I don't have to put on that dress tonight...

Pink, I had that same silver LG phone. I loved that darned thing! (even after I lost the two side pieces). Now I have the Samsung sgh d807.

I also HATE clamshell phones. They are a pain to get open and I feel like they always break.

I don't think it says anything about me, except that I hate clamshell phones and I wanted one that wouldn't break. I've dropped it from 2 stories (whoops!) and it's still going strong. I never get new phones, I hate learning new technology, and I only recently figured out how to switch between callers. BUT, it takes good pictures and it gets great reception, so what more could you want?

And my current ringtone is Underdog by Spoon, with a back-up ringtone of Mushaboom by Feist (for Chris). It's hard to get Indie pop ring tones!

Well my dog is going through a chewing phase (shes about 15-18 months old) and I left my beautiful motorola razr on the coffee table when I went to bed one night, so that became an ex-mobile :no:

I am currently using an old nokia that we had lying around (I think from about 2001 or something).

I'd love to say this means I am unpretentious, but it just means I don't want to worry about accidentally leaving an expensive handset around for the puppy to chew

 

[Jody<3]

Here's mine...It's a blue mint chocolate phone.

I like the way it looks, but as I mentioned in another thread, we have had a few problems. Right now, every once in a while when I slide the cover back into place, it just shuts off.

 

[The Shadow]

The frist cell,that I had was Nokia 252c.It was a Trac-phone(aka pre-paid).It was pretty fairly easy to use and understand.The thing i hated about it,was the mins were soo high.

Now have a other Nokia 1800,it too is a pre-paid aka Net-10.It too is pretty easy to use and operate.Also the mins are much much cheaper.I call any-where in the U.S. and some of Canada for 10cents per min.Texting is cheaper too...its 5cents per text message.I use it for all my long distance calling,instead of useing the house phone.When I buy mins,i buy a 300min card....its only $30.

This is the exact same phone I have. I like it's size and the fact that I can slide it into almost any space, cuz I don't always carry a purse, esp when I walk my dog. I've had it for two years, no problems, knock on wood.
