More colors please
Before the Dawn of smartphones, regular mobile phones used to come is
many different colors. Nokia used to have phone in which you can swap
the casings to different colors. But that was all old school when the
iPhone came in and changed everything. It started out similar to the
time when Henry Ford started mass producing the Model T. You can choose
any color you like as long as it is BLACK. Of course later on there was
also the choice of a white version. Having started the ball rolling,
phones now all come in the color black or white. Nokia, however began
its return to the smartphone battle arena with its N9 and Lumia800 which
come in the optional cyan and magenta, a part from the regular black
version. And honestly it really gives a breath of fresh air to the
smartphone design, in terms of color options. Samsung is also joining
the revolution by releasing a pick version of the Galaxy S2. I'm not
really sure how appealing the pink version will appeal to potential
users but at least it something. Honestly, it looks really ... pink.
The target market should be at the ladies. I don't see any "sane" guy
would want to carry a pink phone around. Having said that, perhaps
other makers should consider having more colors in their product lines
cause things are really getting very boring with just black and white,
especially when the smartphone designs are getting more and more
similar. One way to stand out from the crowd is to have a different
color. 2011 is almost over and there will be another onslaught of new
smartphones in 2012, so I really do hope that the manufacturers will
consider making more colorful phones and spoil us users with more
choices. PS maybe not the color pick though.
