Being in love is one of life’s great pleasures. We’ve all been there. Having our heart skip a beat when we see the object of our affection. Feeling overwhelmingly content when we hold them close. But these emotions aren’t restricted to other human beings. More and more, we’ve seen people acting like this with their Nokia N8. They are smartphone lovers. And who knows, you might just be one of them. But don’t worry, you’re certainly not alone. A recent study by Pew found that 83% of 18-29 year olds can’t bear to go to sleep unless their phone is within arm’s reach.
But sleeping with your beloved isn’t the only trait that says you and your device have a very special relationship. Here are four more.
You can’t stop buying presents for your Nokia N8
You want only the best accessories for your Nokia N8. You already got a bundle of them when you bought it, but you find yourself constantly searching for more. Should you get wireless headphones so you can better enjoy your vast array of music, or a tripod so you can take even better pictures with the 12mp camera? The list of possibilities is endless and you want it all.
When you meet other people with a Nokia N8, it’s all you talk about
“Cool, you have a Nokia N8 too! I thought about getting silver, but in the end I couldn’t take my eyes off the orange. It was love at first sight. Have you played Asphalt 5 HD on it yet? Yeah, it rocks!” If this sounds like the sort of conversation you have when you meet a fellow N8 owner just accept it. You’re infatuated.
You’ve cut back on necessities to afford your monthly smartphone bill
Of course eating lunch is important, but if you make your own sandwiches rather than eat at the local deli, you can save big over a month. Less food means more money to spend doing what you love best; speaking, texting and surfing on your Nokia N8. Maybe you could bike to work instead of getting the bus. Or move to a cheaper house, or sell your stereo. Does this thinking sound familiar? Then love is in the air.
You feel intense panic when you’re apart
And we’re not talking about losing your Nokia N8, we’re talking about you realizing you’ve left it at home. You start sweating as your heart beats like a runaway train. “What if people try to call me?” you think. What if I get the chance to take a great photo or movie? What if I can’t find the nearest pub? What will my Twitter followers think? This obsessive attachment means only one thing. You’re all pumped up with passion.
If you’ve got any other habits that show you’re a Nokia N8 lover, don’t be shy. Why not celebrate your devotion by sharing your romance with the world.
