I just love sharing these stories with you all....
So yesterday marked the beginning of my shopping experience and I was at the mall. Unfortunately got hungry so i hit up the food court...While i was standing in line these two younger teens(If i am 18, i'd say they were probably 12-14 years old maybe) whispering.
Guy 1: That is not a phone.
Guy 2: Yes it is. That is phone.
Guy 1: It is a tablet. There is no phone that big.
Guy 2: Dude, I am telling you it is a phone.
Guy 1: I bet you 5 buck it isn't.
Me: It's a phone. It's a Lumia.
Guy 1: Whoa.
Guy 2: See I told you it was a phone.
THen the cashier at the Mcdonald's was like so caught up with my phone in my hand, she missed my order. She was like "That's really a phone?"
and I just nodded and she was like "They make these phones bigger and bigger everyday and i thought my iphone 5s was big." LOL
So after i got my food one of the guys was like "Do they have that phone on T-mobile?"
and i was like "Not right now. But they have some other phones that are a little smaller and just as cool with some bad *** cameras."
And he's like "No, i want that phone. It's a beast..." LOL
I honestly get a joy out of this because Lumia is slowly gaining mindshare and my generation(18-25) and the slightly younger teen generation is likely what will make or break a phone because i believe older people tend to be more set in their ways and if they have an iPhone or android...if it works for them, no point in experimenting with something new.
Microsoft and Nokia REALLY need to start coming up with some marketing that targets the younger demographics....Perhaps a commercial similar to the original surface dance commercials or something.
Not to mention i did notice several looks while i was sitting and talking on it...this one man was just flat out staring, kind of creepy like lol.
But who knows...Me and my red 1520 might have managed to convert 2 new people to the Windows phone side
