Is Your Mobile Phone a Fashion Statement?

By Fatima Siddiqi

As you've more than likely already noticed, it seems as though most people are primarily concerned about looks rather than functionality, with regards to mobile phones. Of course, this applies to all phones, including the sim-free mobile phones, in that people now tend to choose a phone mainly according to its looks. Another example of this trend can be seen with younger generation girls who now frequently opt for pink mobiles in order to meet their taste in fashion and style.

To a great extent, this trend is quite understandable, given that we live in a society which is tremendously fashion conscious. In fact, in many cases, unless you and your accessories are in fashion, many people will actually go as far as to look down on you.

This obsession with fashion is particularly apparent when it comes to mobile phones, which is why more and more people are buying mobiles which may essentially be less than ideal with regards to functionality, so long as they look the part. This can be seen in the ever increasing popularity of the ultra-slim mobiles which come complete with camera, internet access and etcetera. Of course the keyboard is nothing short of a nightmare, not to mention the phones are far from being robust, but obviously these are issues which no longer concern the average person.

When one sim free mobile phone goes out of style, folks get to their nearest mobile phone distributor as soon as possible to purchase the next phone craze. What is even worse is that some of the features are never even used! So clearly, it is all about style and street credit. Have you found that you are one of the millions who are using mobile phones for fashion and style? If so, then you are not alone. The mobile phone has been made for so much more, but luckily we are able to get the benefit of calling them a fashion accessory as well.

So, when the next new "Hot" mobile hit's the stores, there's no need to be ashamed of wanting one as soon as possible. After all, there are millions upon million of others in exactly the same boat as you. Of course, there are those who want a phone simply for making and receiving calls, and who couldn't care less about looks. However, if you're one of the million who want their phone to be a fashion statement, then so be it. All I'm trying to say is, rather than use it simply to impress people, delve a little deeper and discover the many features and what those features have to offer. The chances are you paid a small fortune for your phone, so you may as well try and get the most out of it. - 16890
