Diddy Has a New Movie.

Diddy, the dude from Superbad and the English Comedian... Might be funny Diddy is playing himself, the dude from Superbad is fat and funny. The English Comedian is doing what he wants can he act is the question?

I Am Not My Phone!? Am I?

If you’re on Twitter, Facebook or whatever online social network, you might come across #teamblackberry and #teamiPhone messages, which are often just appreciative expressions towards the device that keeps people connected to the rest of the world, whether it be by calls, text, PING, email, or Internet.

Some online socializers take it to another level… I describe as playful and virtual ‘beef’ à http://twitter.com/#search?q=teamblackberry

It’s given that phones are definitely more than just communication devices these days…though now the choice of which phone…is apparently more than just a choice…

But is it a lifestyle yet? Can you be defined by your phone?

Do you ever have those moments where someone spots your phone and asks what phone it is? Sometimes the question just hits you out of the nowhere…just to make conversation.

Chances are people don’t ask to judge you by its brand, but really wonder what phone you have, or need inspiration in their search of a new phone….right? You might’ve been there yourself, I know I have…

Answers like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and HTC seem to trigger a quite neutral response and the conversation will most likely continue as usual. However, my Blackberry seems to have the ability to raise people’s eyebrows towards their hairline, or produce ‘Oh you’re one of them’ faces.

Wait! Forget faces, some people go IN and hit you verbally too… For real, what’s THAT all about?

I know I love to exaggerate, but it seems like a big ‘Agha!!!’ As if this piece of info gives you the power to figure me out? Apparently my choice says it all: I gave in to the hype, want to be down with the ‘cool kids’ or just want to PING around the world. All not true, but let’s be honest here… BBM is DEF is an awesome feature! FACT: iPhone now has pmessenger, no judgment, but need I say more!?

I think these brands should have a sticker: WARNING this phone comes with a big ‘JUDGE ME’ stamp on your forehead!

All I wanted was a phone that had certain requirements like… BUTTONS, an absolute must! All touch screen and I do NOT go together.

Why? Well call me lazy, where I call it efficient and exploiting my femanine multi tasking skills…. I like to email, or text while being able to look at something else. Touch screen is cute, but doesn’t allow me to do that flawlessly. Hence, one of the main reasons why I don’t have an iPhone!

Mind you, I have nothing against the iPhone, or Apple, for that matter. Although I do think it’s more focused on the visual aspect than its functionality… but that’s a different point, different story than the one I’m telling here J

Ok, that suggests that there is a point here right? Right! Oh snap!?

Ok Ok, what I’m saying is that I looked into specific features to find the phone that’s right for me, not the brand per se. This search says a lot about me, so I guess the actual phone does too.

You can’t determine this based on the sight of me pulling out a BB though… The way I use my phone says a lot more than the device itself.

Gosh, I’d like to think that I matured enough not to make choices based on media frenzies, or the masses by now?

My phone says I like functionality, mobility, accessibility/ease of use, tangibility and staying connected for business and personal stuff…. Oh and it hopefully screams ‘I HATE touchscreen!’

What does your cell phone say about you?
