Address Book Blinking Light Saga Phone Personification No Interface

Taking Personalization Further
Most of the phones now are unisex. I see men with Nokia L’amour and women with bulky smartphones. So why do we have only one “sterile” version of interface? Why not include some kind of profile wizard (when you first start the phone) so you could select the gender among other things and settings?



Female profile would have slightly different UI – more flowery graphics theme, different icons and new applications like calorie counter, biorhythm, calendar of cycle etc.



Taking this profile idea further we get to Nokia Sensor-like function. Not just a smartphone application, but a possible killer feature. The comparison between profiles (including playlists matching) results in some kind of compatibility rating, which a phone can show in a Motorola haptics-like manner.
