Mobile phones, where would we be without them today?
Would we be without them today?
If you talk to a 12 year old about mobile phones, explain that the mobile has not been about forever and that when you yourself were a child mobile phones were non existent, that child will think you must have lived in the dark ages!
Update: Wow, can't belive this post is nearly 6 years old now, havent times changed. Mobile phones have evolved into smartphones that are part of our everyday life, even though some of them cost the earth.
The price of mobile phone insurance has dropped in comparison to the cost of mobile phones though, such as the iPhone and a few of Samsungs and RIM's handsets.
