WASHINGTON, DC (ContentDesk) March 24, 2006 -- Wirefly, (http://www.wirefly.com), an online leader in one-stop comparison shopping for cell phones and wireless service plans, today released its list of popular design trends for cellular phones. As the cell phone market nears saturation, cell phone companies are increasingly appealing to the consumer's sense of style as a way to drive sales."Cell phone manufacturers understand that consumers see their phones as a way to express their individuality and have responded by moving in innovative directions with their latest designs," explained Brian Westrick, President of Wirefly.One design trend that seems to have reached its limit, according to Wirefly, is the movement towards smaller and smaller handsets. Cell phones that are measurably smaller than those currently on the market are not only less appealing from an ergonomic standpoint, but a shrinking form factor also hinders the inclusion of popular new technology innovations like mobile TV and phones with full keyboards.Wirefly's Top Cell Phone Design Trends for 2006: I. Thin... But Not Tiny Consumers are shifting away from tiny models, and towards larger phones with pencil-thin profiles.
Thin phones like the RAZR and the Samsung A900 maintain their sleek and trendy look without sacrificing accessibility or utility.II. Unique Shapes Last year, phones like the Kyocera Soho and the Motorola RAZR led the way with edgy, angled looks. The PEBL, Motorolas latest addition to its cell phone lineup, represents an effort to introduce a new, more organic motif in cell phone design. It joins other popular design innovations like slider phones (such as the LG F9100) and phones with pivoting screens (like the Samsung D307). III.
Colorful Options Motorola's Pink RAZR, unveiled to coincide with Valentines Day, marked the first major advertising campaign focused on color, instead of features or shapes. It joins other popular phones like the Sanyo VI-2300 series and the Sanyo MM-8300 series, both carried by Sprint. Nokia and Sony Ericsson also have released new models in unique colors like granite grey, amethyst purple, and harvest taupe. The not-yet-released color Motorola PEBLs are expected to be successful as well.Wirefly earlier this year also released a list of the cell phone innovations driving handset sales in 2005.

Test Fidelity with a Spy Phone
Are you worried that you partner may be cheating on you? With a spy phone it is fairly easy to find out. In today's world, nearly everyone has his or her own cell phone. In fact, with family plans and extra phones, there is no need to share a phone. Each person's phone is sacrosanct. This means that it is easier than ever for significant others to cheat on their partners.
No worries about the wrong person answering the phone. With a personal cell phone, you know you are the only person to answer.

The latest spy phone is one that you give to your subject. The person then uses it just like a regular cell phone.
They can make and receive calls, enter numbers into a phone book, and do all of the things that one would expect from a cell phone. The major difference is...

Cell Phone Abuse. Are You A Victim?
Like millions of others, you may be the victim of cell phone abuse. What is cell phone abuse? Let's say you're in a public place trying to concentrate on something or having a face-to-face conversation or just enjoying a peaceful moment when a stranger 5-10 feet away starts talking on his or her cell phone. If, as a result, your concentration is broken or your conversation is interrupted or your peaceful moment ruined or you are otherwise disturbed, then consider yourself the victim of cell phone abuse. Making or receiving one or two short calls in public among strangers is okay but extensive cell phone use or long cell phone chats which disturb other people is an invasion of privacy. It's inconsiderate, it's annoying, it's discourteous.
And worse, it's abuse. And if the victim of cell phone abuse politely (or rudely) interrupts the abuser (as they talk on and on) and asks them kindly to take their cell phone elsewhere, or kindly be quiet; it's disturbing, the victim is all too...
