Flip Phones are Cool Again!

My first cell phone was a flip phone, a Motoroal Razr, one of the most popular models ever. I loved that phone, it made me feel like a character on Star Trek when I would flip open my "communicator" and talk. It fit easily in my back pocket, and because of the neat design I never accidentally called anyone when it was in my pocket or purse.
Smartphones are the in thing now, but flip phones are making a comeback in some places. According to an online article in the Guardian. celebrities like Rhianna, and Anna Wintour (the editor of Vogue Magazine) have been spotted with flip phones and old time rocker Iggy Pop says he uses a flip phone.What's the deal? It could be a reaction to the recent scandals of nude photos being taken from celebrtiy internet accounts.
However, flip phones with internet access are not any more secure than smartphones. And flip phones have never totally gone away, in fact they are still very popular with the general public. Some models are incredibly sturdy and can handle rough treatment. Some of these inclulde the Motorola Barrage, The Samsung Convoy, and yes the Motorola Razr and Krazr are still around. Where can you find them?
On websites like MobileCellMart.com, which sells used and refurbished phones. Prices are usually well below $100.00 making these phones incredibly affordable. They are great choices for outdoorsmen, and even accident-prone teenagers.
Smartphones currently seem to just be getting bigger and bigger, but there will always be a place for small phones, especially ones that flip open!MobileCellMart.com
