5 Things Your Phone Says About You



People may not realise how much subtle and simple things they do unconsciously say about them. The truth is your innocent unconscious behaviour reveals a whole world about your personality. Here are some things your choice of phones might be revealing about you to people who know what to look for.

The Trendy Buyer
If you must have the latest phones as they are launched it might mean you lack the ability to commit in your romantic relationships. Yes, relationships with an S. It points at having a wondering eye. In men, you have the means, wealth and sophistication to attract new love interests at whim and tend to dump the not to old version you got for the newer trendier "model". In women, you are young or young enough with regard to your market, beautiful and good at getting practically any man you want and you seem to always be moving up in your choice of men, trading influence and power for even more influence and power. And like your old phones, sometimes you have them lingering around and you don't know what to with them as they continue to bother you.

The iPhone® User
The iPhone® user is the ideal person in most relationships. Like the iPhone®, it was amazing when it begun. One couldn't believe they'd found themselves in such wonderful situation. A partner that they never saw coming and frankly didn't even believe was possible. And over time the partner stopped trying to please you but rather spent all its time trying to make you change your habits to accommodate what it wants you to be. The spark is lost but because you fell head over heels in the 1st instant you find it hard or damn near impossible to admit that the love is lost. You're hanging in there in this dysfunctional relationship defending every action knowing in your heart they are all wrong moves. Hoping things will get back to how they were at the beginning. Maybe they will or maybe they won't. Hang in there.

The Multiple Android® User
This personality tends to be my favourite. These people are committed but in an unusual way. Much like the dedicated Android® users who don't have a particular brand loyalty but rather an operating system loyalty while still looking for the perfect phone for them (which they may never find btw) these people don't have a race, earning bracket or general discrimination they can identify but rather a personality type and the packaging it comes in. The problem is over time they always find something wrong with every phone they own and such is the case with their relationships too. They have no problem with moving on to the next and then to only remember the beauty of the phones and relationships they had, once they've lost it. Most are too proud to go back to their old phones either because they given it out (the other half has moved on) or because of their inert principles of never regressing. Forward ever, backward never.

The BlackBerry® Lover
This user is one you can describe as old fashioned. Just like the BlackBerry® being credited as the original smart phone, these people still hold an endearing fondness for their 1st love. They believe in commitment in its original form too. Marry once; once and for all and if you have anything on the side, that's where it should stay, on the side. They never give in to pressure that their phones are not relevant anymore and are reluctant to even upgrade their Blackberry's to a newer model. They'd rather have 2 phones; one being their beloved BlackBerry® and the other any modern phone. Likewise in relationships where they might complain about their spouses to friends and maybe even their extra-marital accomplice promising to one day leave but never actually doing it.

Two Phones or More
This user is especially mischievous. Anyone who has more than one phone should not be trusted. They are either avoiding someone or something, hiding something or both. There is no phone personality as clear as this one. They are overt and very good at separating their 2 lives and both lives exist and are discernable by the phone they're carrying or using at that moment in time.

You may know someone or several people who fall into one or several of these categories or you yourself may recognise your traits. Depending on how you take it, this may help you decipher them better or help you or them improve at containing and or hiding those traits.
