Would you decorate your cell phone? WHY? I don't get the need for BLING on a phone. It is a functional piece of technology. And I use it as such. Someone clear this up for me.

...LOL!! I feel the same way about putting $1200 rims (per rim) on my car. I'm going to drive it through mud at some point! ...Status symbols is all they are. They say, "I have more money than brains." ...Peace be with you. =(^;^)=

OF course, you know that this is just a merchandising ploy to get phone owners to spend more money on their phones. They want you to spend, spend, spend! and since all your friends have bling, you dont want to be left out in the cold, so you have to have it too. its a vicious cycle.

This is the truth. It's all about the money! Well, I won't spend my money on that! It's a vicious cycle, but I HAVE broken it!

Nope. I would not spend another dime on my cell phone. I use it to send text messages only. I have a cheap prepaid phone. I have no need to decorate it LOL.

Well, I don't understand very much about the need for adornment and jewelry. It is not limited to just cell phones. To put shiny rims on a car, to have big dangling jewelry on your neck or oversized rings on your fingers. Tattoos and excessive attention to fashion.. I just don't have a mind to care about that kind of stuff. It just doesn't interest me.

i also dont like putting some unimportant stuffs in my phone! decorating cell phones are what the teenagers are doing now but i am different from them. lol i know a lot of friends putting stuffs in their phone and so others are also imitating doing it. as for me, i dont care if i dont have that stuff like them as long as i can text, call and communicate with my special someone.its already enough.

I don't use bling on the one my mom gave me but my niece buys different covers for hers and some are really pretty but why pay the extra cost? I guess it is a fashion statement to make them more fashionable and matching what they wear or their personality. Never really know. I like to keep it simple.

It seems pointless to me, but I see it all the time. It is just another way for companies to make money and people spend money needlessly.
