The Flip Phones

I'm swinging fast with the latest in communication technologies. I prefer my phones to be sleek, user-friendly, advance in its features and to have a competitive edge against sprouting models. My cell phone is one of my best fashion accessories wherever I go.

However, for my boss Al, cell phones are of quintessential value. He sternly uses it for business calls from foreign counterparts and emergency calls from his wife. He prefers the "flip phones", the way he calls it. From his point of view, it makes any men of his league look professional and rigidly intimidating. He's a no non-sense guy, so he ain't lured with MP3 specs and style.

I've seen him reach out for his phone in his vest jacket and even if it ain't one of the latest series, I have to admit, I'm quite intimidated. That got me thinking on my toes, your choice is who you are, and who you wish to be. Refuse the clutch of the bandwagon. The quintesssential specs of life is character. Besides, I'm not sure if I'll look at him the same way if I'll see him banging with MP3 music and fiddling with a colorful handset!

In buying phones, character and personality should be top of your list. There's always something new, something to talk about but do you really need it? Do you need to splurge? Stick it out with your buddy phone so long as you're satisfied!
