With the recent revelation in the national
press that women are now spending
more
on the latest gadgets than fancy
footwear, Vodafone UK has updated its
Vodafone
live! service with the addition of a brand
new 'For Girls' section.
This commitment to cater more for
the female market was also encouraged
by
the recent Vodafone poll of 3,500
picture messaging customers to
discover what
women really want from their mobile
phone. From a stylish accessory to a
source
of news and entertainment, the mobile
phone is a leading gadget in the life
of the modern girl.
The poll also revealed a series of
quirky facts on the latest way that
people
are relying on photo and mobile
technology:
- 20% of mobile users send snaps of
themselves in new outfits to friends for
the thumbs-up
- A fashion-conscious 18% take
pictures of shoes or clothes on display
to
show pals before making a serious
fashion faux-pas
- A cheeky 5% take pictures of
snappy dressers that they see on the
high
street to copy their style
- 15% frequently pull out their
cameraphones to photograph the sides
and
backs of their hair
- 10% use their cameraphones as a
mirror to check their make-up
- 4% even resort to getting the
phone out in the middle of a restaurant
after
dinner - to check they have clean
teeth
- More than 20% use their phone to
capture details of a new property
- 15% send pictures of new
furnishings to partners to get an opinion
before
giving the house a make-over
With gizmos becoming such an
important part of girls' lives, the new 'For
Girls'
section provides instant access to
everything a girl could ever want, from
the
latest fashion news to health advice,
from recipes to celebrity gossip and
much,
much more. 'For Girls' is like having the
latest magazines and top news shows
at your fingertips whenever and
wherever you happen to be. To
access 'For Girls'
simply go to the easy to use Vodafone
live! menu and select the 'For Girls'
icon.
Postcards from your mobile
phone
Vodafone ensures that it always keeps
its customers ahead in the technology
stakes, with recent launches including
the introduction of mms postcard, which
has taken sending a postcard to a
whole new dimension. Instead of trying
to
find a half decent postcard you can
simply create your own by taking a
picture
with your cameraphone, typing in your
message and the recipient's address
and
before you know it a postcard is
winging its way to your best mate.
Vodafone is constantly up-dating its
services to acknowledge the important
role that gadgets now play in a
woman's life.
