Mobiles For Your Valentine

There are different mobiles for different women and many choices for both. This should help simplify matters when it comes choosing a mobile for your gal.

Mobiles For Your Valentine

I’ve never been much for this “V-Day” day, honestly. Most of the time, it involves me having to spend my hard earned cash on someone other than myself. Then again, there are those times when it just feels right and the cost is suddenly not an option you consider. But buying the right gift for the right girl when you’re swamped with choice is often painful. Allow me, dear gentlemen readers to offer some solace in the mobile phone department.

What you want to think about when buying your ‘gal’ a mobile is her personality; so what I’ve done is offer a few choices based on three of the most common categories – The ambitious ‘All-Business’ woman, the sweet ‘Girl Next Door’ and the glamorous ‘Diva’. Here are a couple of choices –

For that All-Business woman who knows what she wants and how to get it here’s what might just make her a little less ‘bossy’ if you know what I mean.

BlackBerry Flip 8220 - Rs. 21, 990


The Flip is a very stylish and well cut handset, which does have that certain feminine appeal in its clamshell form. Let’s not forget that RIM with its BlackBerry range has set a certain bar for the hardcore businessma... I mean business-person. It’s a comfortable-to-use business handset that also handles all the necessary business functions that a traditional BlackBerry employs.

Nokia E63 – Rs. 14, 250


The lower end edition to the E71 that’s been fairing brilliantly well in the market so far, the E63, is essentially the same with a couple of tweaks. It has a 2 megapixel camera and it comes in some pretty funky colors. The colors don’t really diminish the look and feel of the handset. The full QWERTY keypad and large display with all the support required for emailing and staying in touch with work and friends will definitely help your cause.

Both handsets employ hardcore business functionality with a touch of femininity, style and color to give off an essence of not just ‘work’ but a little ‘play’ thrown in.
