vboelema posted the following on 247 this week and I felt it deserved a place on the front page. I guess there is no such thing as the coolest phone brand…
The iPhone is the only phone to make my wife go “Wow. Why don’t you get that!” It doesn’t mean it’s cool, but it certainly has style and has captured the attention of people previously either oblivious or just not that interested in mobiles. I think it was cool in the beginning when it came out and it belonged to a few exclusive people, making it cool. When every Tom, Dick and Harry has one it loses its cool status. Motorola’s Razr was cool when it first hit the scene. What’s cool now though? Nothing much I don’t think. I’m not sure if there is a phone out there with which you would want to be seen in order to be noticed as being somehow more special than everyone else in the room. And even if you do find one, next month it’ll be history and you’ll have to get a new one!
