nice post
I do feel naked if I go out and forget a phone, also a little helpless. I think its been a long time since I bought a phone for social status though. for example I bought my Motorola V3 when they had been out a month because even though everyone was raving about them and saying how expensive they were I didn't run out and get one. by coincidence one day someone showed me the phone and thats when I decided it was the phone for me and its now one of the longest times I have used the same phone
I do think phones such as vertu and others which are diamon encrusted or gold plated are only there for people to show their money but usually these phones are a waste of space compared with phones 1/10th their price
like most material things I think there is a phsycology of always wanting better than others. its the jones next door syndrome, and in my experience it probably affects males more than females as they seem to have a less materialistic attitude and go more for function in my opinion

Good question! For me the phone is something between a very useful thing, that makes my life easier and on the other side some sort of a pleasure for my eyes! First of all I must be convinced to have the most beautiful phone in the world, not the best. What other people hold in their hands does not interest me, unless it's a (S)E!!! It's like with women, she must be nice and have a good character, I don't have to change her every year, nor always have the youngest women!

My phone has become a necessity. Gone are the days when owning a mobile phone was a luxury...even in India!!

When I bought this notebook the salesman had a Siemens SX1 mobile phone which I know is more expensive than my K700i and I did feel a little inadequate... until I went home and compared the phones feature for feature. I reckon I got the better deal

i do think it is a status thing but noone bothers with it anymore....
give a rich guy a 3310 and he will freak... he wants an expensive phone not really to show off but because society expects it.
here in SA any1 who can afford R135/10 pounds subs a month can get just about any phone from V3 to d500 to s700I+ps2!!!! so its not that its a status thing.....
theres lowincome people who walk around with p900's and so on...
no use crying about some1 with a better phone than you, i think..
