Pink mobile phones are getting more popular than ever for the female market. Initially girly phones started to get big a few years ago with the Pink Motorola RAZR, and the pink mobile phone market is now bigger than ever.

This is due to many reasons including that the amount of mobile phones that are being released and the amount of things that they are being used for has dramatically increased. The female market will tend to go for a phone for looks rather than for technical features, so for a handset to be pink, feminine, have girly features and accessories will attract the female market.

There are been a vast amount of pink coloured phones that have been released over the past year including Ted Baker L760, Sony Ericsson W580i, Samsung F210, Nokia 6120 and Motorola KRZR K1.

One of the latest pink mobiles available for all girlies is the Pink Samsung G600, it’s one of the first pink phones to have a decent camera with a brilliant 5 mega-pixels. Other latest released pink mobiles are the Motorola U9 PEBL, the Pink Blackberry which has a QWERTY keypad, Samsung J700 which is only 15mm thick and the pink Nokia 3500 which can store 2000 phonebook entries.

Not all girly phones are pink though! There are also many phones available in other really gorgeous colours. LG have now release a Viewty in Purple and the Motorola U9 is also available in purple. Sony Ericsson has just released a W910i Def Jam edition which is a beautiful mixture of white, gold and purple. Also the Mandarina Duck collection of mobiles by Alcatel has three different eye-catching colours of lime green, red and purple.

There are even more new pink mobiles set to be released during the rest of the year including a pink Playboy phone by Alcatel. This glimmering phone has a 1.3 mega-pixel camera with a microSD card so you can store loads of images on there.

Has it ever occurred to you that all the money you are spending on gadgets could be a complete waste? Years of tech collections can be destroyed in minutes by the write (wrong ) people. If you were anything like me you would like your home to safe and secure when you go away. I’d advise taking a look into ways to protect your home… I mean preventions better than cure right!

First things first, you don’t want a fortress… there would be nothing worse than having huge red shutters outside your home. You need to make it discreet and effective.

New CCTV in development enables you can have a live broadcast sent to your mobile phone and an external recorder around the world. This would obviously come at a costly monthly fee for broadcasting but would be quite cool!

Technology provides us with items such as unbreakable (within extreme limits) windows. And even if someone does get through they send a signal straight to the police station within minutes. Window entry has been the most common since they were invented and it doesn’t look like changing.

Get movement sensors… ok so this sound’s kind of far but there in fact very common nowadays in most homes. Turn the alarm on before you leave and when you enter you have 30 seconds to enter the code before the alarm wakes up the entire town… a great invention to whoever made it!

If your looking to protect a business rather than a home I recommend getting some roller shutters and industrial doors. People will go to higher levels of force for higher values and you need to take this into account when considering security!

Take or leave my advice, it won’t affect me. One thing goes without saying however, get insurance!
