Everywhere you look, someone has a pink cell phone. They represent a certain level of style and originality. It all started back in the days of “brick” phones; phones that were bulky, slow, and lacking on features. Cell phone companies began to make colorful covers for these phones, and soon realized that pink was a very popular color. Then came the Motorola Razr. This phone originally debuted in black, but soon came in more colors, no external case required. Pink quickly became one of the most popular colors, and due to the popularity of the Razr, pink phones spread into the mainstream.

Other phone manufacturers caught on, and now phones from just about every company can be purchased in pink, and if not then a pink cover can be bought. Today, the most popular phones are either touch screen or have a full keyboard. And even in this new market, pink phones and covers are growing in popularity. And with advances in the phone cover industry, almost any phone can be pink, meaning consumers no longer have to sacrifice functionality for originality!

Whether you want a flip phone, sliding phone or a touch screen phone, a variety of pink options can be found. The most popular modern phones are the Droid, the HTC Droid Eris, the iPhone and the Blackberry. These phones can be bought in a variety of colors, although not pink. But, the market for covers is always increasing, and any of these phones can become the phone you really want with a few simple steps. These phones all boast great speed, full online capabilities, texting, and a wide variety of downloadable applications.

These phones range from roughly $100 – $200, and covers usually run about $20. But, once you buy the phone and the cover, it will last you for years. A good investment now is better than a lame phone two years from now. The price is a small sacrifice for a great phone, and a great look.

So no matter what phone you’re looking for, don’t settle for boring. Ask for pink specifically. You’ll be glad you did!

The Bold looks sleek with its black color and chrome trim.  The back is textured to feel like leather, and the 3.5 inch display has a more crisp and vibrant display than most other phones in its class, including the iPhone 3G.  The Bold is sturdy, but it’s bigger than previous BlackBerry versions and is definitely larger than the iPhone 3G.  BlackBerry loyalists will be happy to note that the Bold’s design stays true to previous models, but still has manages to look modern.

Among the Bold’s features, there is a 2.0 megapixel camera with digital zoom and built-in flash, a QWERTY keyboard, and tethered modem capability.  The camera is nothing special, as the old BlackBerry 8800 model had a camera with the same amount of megapixels.  For whatever reason, RIM decided not to improve the camera quality.  The QWERTY keyboard is one of the phone’s stellar features.   Email and texting are a delight with the easy to use keyboard.  The keys are backlit, and even people with large fingers should be able to type almost effortlessly.

As far as battery life goes, the Bold can last up to 13.5 days in standby and 4.5 hours of talk time.  I believe these estimates to be on par with most smartphones in the same class.  In fact, these times are either better than or equal to the battery life of a 3G iPhone.

Included accessories with the phone are a USB cable and wall charger.  The Bold has 1GB of on-board memory, and if that’s not enough, microSD memory cards are supported.  A maximum of 8GB can be added with a high-capacity microSD card.

Connection-wise, the Bold supports Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and built-in GPS.  Another area where the phone shines is its native multimedia support.  The media player has a clean interface, and the phone natively supports DivX, XviD, H.264, and WMV3 video formats.  Audio format support is common with 3GP, MP3, WMA9, MIDI, and AAC.

If you’ve never owned a BlackBerry, you definitely can’t go wrong with the Bold.  If you already own a BlackBerry, the Bold is the perfect upgrade choice.  The phone’s screen and keyboard really provide a pleasant user experience, and the multimedia support is top notch.  The only major flaw in the phone is the low quality camera, but the rest of the phone’s features certainly make up for it.
