I have been thinking about all the people that come in my store, and all of my friends & family, and people i have never even met in my life.. and almost everyone wants that brand new amazing phone, whether it be an iPhone, or a Pre, or whatever it may be..
And even within the iPhone community people seem to look down upon the iPhone 2G because it is old...

So I was just wondering...
How many of you think that cellphones are a status symbol?

Are cellphones a status symbol? Yes.
Is mine (White 3G S)? Yes.
Did I buy it because of that? Effff no.

Pro-tip: Question in poll and thread are sort of different, haha... Your answers in the poll don't really match the question.

If you don't own an iPhone your a square. Nah nut serious , cell phones have become a part of peoples lives in a personal level that customizing it is part of ones status. Sure the iPhone 2G was a thing back then , but the new Jordan just came out so u know what time it is

Dude, you should have seen what people thought of me with my previous temporary phone- Nokia 1650- don't even search it; the phone's awful....

Hahahahaha, too good.

Loser = loser
loser + Iphone = loser with an Iphone
See, no status change. So my answer is no.

**Poseidon79** · #14 07-01-2009, 12:07 PM

I think more highly of the iPhone 2G style and quality than the newer ones. The phone isn't a status symbol anymore now that it's subsidized.
