Is It The End Of The Line For Mobile Phone Fascias?

By Fatima Siddiqi

Can you recall the time when people used to change the way their phone looked to match the appearance of what they were wearing? If you can, you will also remember that this hot trend, not only applied to your clothes, but also to the colour your nails were painted or the accessories you wore too. You could choose whether to dress up or dress down your mobile phone.

The mobile phone fascia, a brilliant idea introduced by Nokia, allowed you to buy as many different fascias of various patterns, designs and colours and these were without doubt all the rage at this particular time. Other mobile phone manufacturers followed suit and it was not long before the trend became extremely popular with all kinds of fascias appearing on the scene.

However, like all the other trends, this trend is also on a decline. The reason for this is not hard to guess. When the initial euphoria of selling the mobile phone fascias died out, the mobile companies discovered that this may lead to a loss. Hence, they changed their modus operandi and started selling different colour variants of the same models instead of the fascias.

This was done to sell more handsets that would lead to more profit. While the fascias could only bring a couple of bucks which meant that in spite of selling a hundred of such casings would not yield much profit, selling even ten mobile phones could bring in more profit and market share.

Hence, as a result more and more customers have now started choosing their mobile phone with care. They are more interested in buying something that complements their personality and lasts them for the entire contract period.

Therefore, the recent years have seen a decline in the trend since mobiles have become cheaper and people prefer changing the entire mobile rather than just changing the external covering. Moreover, one can even buy a sim free mobile phone these days which does not require any registration and can be used any time you want to change your phone. There are many more advantages of sim free mobile phones since you don't need to go through rigorous security checks. You can even buy a sim free mobile phone as a surprise gift for your loved one since you don't need to register it during purchasing. The best part about a sim free mobile phone is that you can take it with you when you change networks or operators. Moreover, these mobile phones come with a variety of features as well.

These sim free mobile phones are a complete world of entertainment in them selves. You can browse the net, check your mail, look at the headlines and even use them for social networking options like Facebook and Twitter. Not just this, these phones also have great games and video playbacks as well.

Of course, the digital photography enhancement of these phones lets you use it to make videos and take pictures without having to take a separate camera long with you. For this reason, they are being used more and more by members of the media to keep up to date with what's happening in the world.
