Celebrities Reflect Their Persona through Their Use of Cell Phones
The common people have always been interested in the way celebrities lead their lives and the hobbies or interests that they pursue. Like their colorful lives their choices and preferences are also temperamental and diverse. Go through any gossip magazine and you are sure to catch a glimpse of any celebrity animatedly chatting over his/her cell. Among these glitterati there are obviously a few who clearly stand out with their distinctive styles.
Danger’s T-Mobile Sidekick II is one of the most popular cell phones around and it is endorsed by hot celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie. This phone received lot of attention because of the hacking of this gadget of Paris Hilton, and the confidential contents getting leaked all over the internet. Another handset which has its own niche in the cell phone fraternity is obviously the Blackberry, which is used by influential people inside the White House as well as stars like Naomi Campbell.
Motorola RAZR V3 is another such cell phone that receives huge applause and in the recent Academy awards, this handset was also distributed as a complimentary gift. Nokia’s 7280 model cell phone was used by Jennifer Lopez in her recent “Get Right” video at the Academy Awards.
Everybody remembers the news where Britney Spears carried her cell phone as the only device when she was sent to the rehabilitation center. Every common person today knows the way she used to frequently shift her cell phones from one model to another, much similar as the hue in her hair. It is also believed that she switched over almost five different cell phones including LG enV, Blackberry 8700c, Sidekick LX and the most recently launched the Samsung u740, in a recent activity of hers.
IPhone was quite a fad initially among celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, etc. Lohan was very frequently photographed by paparazzi guys with her iPhone but she later seemed to have switched back to her Blackberry. One can cite Blackberry’s superior messaging services to be the reason and also the fact that Apple does not really subscribe to the idea of entering into any tie-ups with gifting organizations.
Various handset makers today are being approached by different organizations that always look forward for a tie-up in order to distribute and widely spread these free of cost products. Many palm Treo’s and Nokia handsets were spread across and distributed at events like the Venice Film Festival and the World Music Awards.
Maria Sharapova was always spotted out with her pink colored MOTORAZR phone which became an instant hit in the market. These phones were distributed freely to many celebrities to create a buzz in the market. Endorsements that the celebrities provide for such gadgets have always helped the companies with benefits. This can be taken as an example for marketing newly manufactured products and a tactic to attract consumers.
Although it might be true that celebrities can really get any cell phone that they like for free, but a particular preference or liking is definitely exhibited.
