Analyzing Mind

My husband bought me the prettiest phone last Christmas. It was the first pink RAZR available (not the pale pink or the one covered in pink plastic). Our service is through Cingular who did not sell the phone. So, he order this special phone unlocked from Asia. I was so excited! It even had Japanese numbers on the keys and came with a hot pink case.

I know Scott regretted buying me the phone after I was clipping the case onto my belt loop so everyone could see it. I had this hot pink thing bouncing off my hip, and it kept ringing “Hello Moto”. I laughed every time, and Scott dropped his head in embarrassment.

As the months pasted, new phones came out, and my phone no longer was that cool. It was still my favorite color and held special meaning since Scott bought it for me, but it also started to just flake out. Time for a new phone.

The search began. Since my last phone was pretty but did not do much else, I wanted to get a phone with some cool features. I wanted a good camera, good sound, and a way to play tons of music. We went to stores, and I would dash over to the flashy pretty phones. Scott would give me this look like I was a little kid about to do something I knew was wrong. I would slowly turn away and follow him to the phones that actually worked.

The problem is the phones with the gadgets were ugly. I didn’t want an ugly phone either. I was stuck. Pretty or handy? Now, as a guy, Scott did not understand why I had to think this over. The looks of the phone should not matter, but I would have to carry this accessory with me everyday! All the phones he pointed out were “boy phones”. I want a small, cute, but useful phone. This did not seem to exist.

Then, in total frustration of my RAZR turning itself off, I opened my mind and listened to Scott’s advice. He showed me this phone online with a 2 mega pixel camera and a memory slot that could hold as much music as I want. Wow! The camera really impressed me. I love pictures, but the phone was just black with orange buttons. I was not sold yet.

Maybe if I saw the phones in person, I could see if they are as ugly in person as they are online. So, we headed to the Cingular store. I walked in and asked to see a Sony Ericsson W810i and a pink SLVR (those are really cute). Phillip, our sales guy, opened the box and prepared the Sony for me to play with.

At first, I was a little confused with the buttons, but in seconds, I was snapping awesome pictures and jammin’ to the music. So what if it is just black with a few orange buttons. This phone rocks! It is tiny which makes it more feminine, and it has all the features I wanted. The perfect phone for someone who wants it all…style and functionality.
