The mobile phone has planted itself effortlessly in the mainstream of the modern individual's life. As sociologists pointed out, the cell phone is an extension of the person who owns it. Therefore, how the cell phone is used is a reflection of its user. But that's the social scientists talking. But there might be a grain of truth as to what these social experts have been implying. I know someone who is die-hard Hello Kitty fanatic since childhood. Everything she wears has got to have the Hello Kitty on it. When the mobile phone hit the streets, she got herself a pink phone with these Hello Kitty cell phone accessories, ranging from cell phone cases, cell phone covers. When she became a Sprint subscriber, she lamented the move because Sprint accessories don't sell any Hello Kitty enhancements. Another fine example is a good male friend of mine who is into Bob Marley and anything that has got to do with Bob Marley. He has this whole closet of t-shirts that either have Bob Marley's face on it or the visually aesthetic cannabis leaf design up front. His cell phone also shouts his devotion to the dead reggae icon with his array of ring tones are all composed of Bob Marley songs. Perhaps it's the assertion of individuality that is happening here. I don't know. But whatever the case, the social scientists might have hit the bull's eye with the extension of self thing. I do bite to that viewpoint, to say the least. As mentioned earlier, the mobile phone is now a part of the modern individual's life. Unwanted or not, there are these sets of unwritten rules on how you are to act with your cell phone in a way social scientists in particular, and the society in general, would approve. I am not saying you, dear reader, should adhere fervently and feverishly to these set of cell phone etiquettes but it pays to know some of them. As they say, ignorance of the law excuses no one. But we're not breaking laws here, mind you. It's just me making an emphasis. The following are some tips of how a guy should act with his cell phone when out on a date. Read on and consider yourself enlightened.
1.If you really need to make or answer a call when on a date, politely excuse yourself from the table and go to where she can't hear your conversation but maintain visual contact. Maximum of three minutes is the general rule, that is, if you want a second shot. 2.Inform your date in advance that you are expecting an important call. Whether you mean it or use it as an excuse to bail yourself out if the situation isn't going your way, is totally up to you. 3.If you prefer to check the movies, please set your phone to silent mode. It is pretty much self-explanatory. If the need arises, refer to 1 and 2. 4.Never use your cell phone when you are talking to your date or the other way around. It is rude. As a sign of pure interest on her, keep your cell phone out of sight. Otherwise, place it on the table if you want to turn her off.
Other dating experts would tell you to leave your cell phones at home when out on a date. That's a big boo-boo. Cell phones are intended to be a tool for constant communication. Bring it along if you like. But do bear in my mind that you do have a date. Stay focused on her. That's the whole point of you asking her out on a date, right?
Maybe you like how they look and the clothes they wear, admire their talent or the role they currently play on the TV, or simply like having their faces on your cellular phone screen. Maybe you took pictures of when you met them, and you intend to prove to everyone you know that you did meet them. Whatever the reason, celebrities continue to occupy the mobile phones of many subscribers.
A camera phone makes a convenience out of taking photos of friends and odd sceneries, and practicing basic photography skills. Doing so will provide a whole range of options for changing wallpapers and screensavers on your phone. On the other hand, for the eager entertainment fan, a mobile phone equipped with a good digital camera proves useful, particularly in documenting his or her celebrity encounters. After all, what better way to tell your story than with a visual aid?
However, not all celebrity fanatics have the time, energy, or interest in becoming the paparazzi. Thanks to the innovations developed by mobile telecommunications providers, your pictures are just one of the ways through which celebrities can occupy your cellular phone. Some service providers also offer voice tones of your favorite celebrities, as well as ring tone versions of songs of your favorite musical act. Other similar products are cell phone wallpaper versions of movie posters, photos of the celebrities taken on the red carpet, awards night pictures, and sometimes even prison mug shots of celebrities who were previously arrested.
Aside from the pleasure of having the latest photos and images downloaded right to your cell phone, the primary use of these features, if nothing else, is to provide you with choices to fiddle with to pass the time. For instance, your cell phone can look like Angelina Jolie one day, and Ewan McGregor the next. You can also switch songs for ring tones to match your mood, or change movie themed wallpapers according to what's showing in the theaters. Sometimes you may even want to swap your photos with those of another celebrity fanatic through Blue Tooth. If a day comes, however, when you suddenly feel like trading your cell phone celebrities for cartoon like images, feel no despair. It is, after all, just a download away.
Other wallpaper options for your phone are pictures of scenic spots, such as the beach at sunset, the city skyline, and snow-covered mountains; cute photos of babies, pets, dolls and little trinkets; graphic illustrations of your favorite characters; farm animals; holiday themes, such as Christmas and Halloween; cartoons in 3D and manga; tattoo designs and calligraphy; country flags, jets and cars. Meanwhile, other ring tone options include advertising sound clips, video game sound bytes, as well as excerpts from musicals, movie and television themes, and even the national anthems of different countries.
You need not be among the stars to be able to have photos of your favorite celebrities. Visit www.ringtones.lt to download pictures of your favorite celebrities as wallpapers and screensavers, as well as ring tones, logos and games.
