Women and Mobile Phones


Maaannn. OK so here I am. I'm trying to find myself a new Mobile Phone to upgrade from my totally useless (but good looking) motoming..finally had to accept that its not all about form, function matters too...ok so Im not very gadget-friendly but this is ridiculous..are there are no sites specially made to review phones that are suited to the needs of working women?? Do i spot a business opportunity here? A gadget consulting firm for women..hmm..

Anyways, so all the sites have reviews both good and bad..how do you trust that the good ones haven't been out up by enthusiastic company execs? So you only read the bad ones (by the way, its no coincidence that the BAD reviews have far more views than the good ones) and whats the outcome? ...
Your painfully drawnup shortlist of 3 models dwindles down to z-e-r-o.

So now what? My Friday mornings just been spent chasing reviews and Im still no closer to my new phone...and my ming refuses to charge anymore even (not that anyone is going to call me)...

Maybe someone can explain the following (if they understand GREEK that is) -

What is a Document Viewer - nobody answers my question about ' can i just use it like my laptop'? What is Symbian ??? What is 342kbph??? What is Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, EDGE, HSCSD, Infra red Port, Three G, USB, WLAN, Wap Enabled...and at the end of this list- Mobile Internet Access!!!Huh!!! Then what do all of the above do? Are there like 50 different technologies like the internet? All the phones in the shops are dummies so you cant apparently DO anything with them...so they cannot apparently SHOW me what HSCSD is..and they CERTAINLY cant explain it...

The sales guys think you are a moron and try to pass of complete lies- its the woman thing- they think you know nothing about things (esp. gadgets)- so right ..its the same at the auto mechanic as well by the way (dead right again) but who's going to accept that in public right? But the fact is the sales guy doesn't know anything either..i know because of the way the ming was sold to me one would think its technically more advanced than an E71 and a Blackberry put together...whereas all it has is a really cool fliptop where the speaker wires can be seen ...heehee that gave me days of pleasure and pride...till i realized that the phone doesn't really do much (inpsite of the cool speaker wires)

Anyways- if any of you have any suggestions about buying a business phone for women in a language that i can understand, do tell...:)
