Styling With My Bagphone

The folks at Sprint sent out a little item this week that alleges the style of your cellphone says a lot about your personality in much the same way that your automobile tells the world who you are.

It has even launched a Web site where you can take a personality quiz to figure our your “cell style.”

Anyway, here is how Sprint describes “Technosexual:”

“Although you would never say so yourself, you are the epitome of style and sophistication, and you’re just about as tech savvy as they come. The latest and greatest technology enhances your impeccable style, and your friends count on you to keep them updated on the hottest new gadgets and trends. You spend your free time at all the coolest places, and you’ve got a keen sense of fashion style.

“As a technosexual, you need a cell phone with both looks and smarts.”

Yada. Yada. Yada.

Boy, do they have it wrong. I’m the cellphone equivalent of the doddering old man puttering down the freeway for miles at 50 mph with his left blinker on.

My ideal cellphone comes in a bag and weighs six pounds.

What’s your cellphone style? Take the test and see how far off the Sprint inkblotters miss their mark.
