You may be thinking there is more than enough time until February 14th... but we tell you, time does fly. You won´t even notice until it has slipped away and the day dedicated to love and romance has arrived, the very same day when love fills the air and the prices of flowers sky-rocket.
Your loved one will probably not send you packing if you show up at their door with just a bunch of flowers in your hand. However, you can certainly make them blissfully happy if you throw a present into the deal, right? Some people opt for heart-shaped boxes of candies, especially that tasty chocolate variety we would personally never turn down, others go for sweet things like cute, plush toys or take a pragmatic approach to the problem and come up with a domestic appliance. In our opinion, quite naturally of course, your best option is nothing but a cell phone. It gives you the opportunity to, erm, kill two birds with one stone so to speak, because you will have the perfect excuse to call the person that has captured your heart (or the larger part of it) more often, while on the other hand they would probably be delighted over the new toy and not last, the chance to show off to their friends. The thing is there is an abundance of cell phones on the market today and time never stops. That is why we decided to compile a list of recommended handsets, grouped by categories, to help you out with the tricky predicament and save you time.
Still, keep in mind that a proper present is never complete until you´ve enclosed a personal, heart-warming message.
For high-tech lovers:
Apple iPhone 3GS – No one can deny the appeal of the iPhone 3GS. It will give you endless hours of entertainment with thousands of apps, superb web browsing capabilities and seamless user experience. If you feel unsure of which phone to choose as a present, keep in mind you’ll never go wrong with the Apple iPhone.
HTC HD2 – If you live with a high-tech maniac, who finds joy in messing with the already quite messed up file system of Windows Mobile, then the best option is the HD2. This is simply the undisputed king of WM handsets right now, offering a giant capacitive screen, super-fast performance and multitouch.
HTC Hero – Google has recently gone on a foray with the Android operating system, so chances are high your sweetie has a crush on some of the numerous Android devices out there (don’t take it personal). If so, the Hero will surely save the day with its beautiful Sense user interface, multitouch and Flash support.
