For a time the cell phone was perhaps considered a plaything of the wealthy and a tool for businesses but not anymore with it fast becoming the most important piece of technology you can own. Manufacturers it seems develop cell phones now with facilities that are aimed purely at the younger generation because they are more likely to want to change their phone as each new model is launched. It is true that no-one expected the popularity of cell phones to be what it is today. Some experts suggest that the landline based telephone only has a limited lifespan unless features that are seen in the cell phone are reproduced to compete. In an attempt to make each persons phone distinctly their own, cellular phone wallpapers, or backgrounds, have been developed.

Now, changing your wallpaper couldn’t be easier with web sites set up just for this purpose. Now, using the cell phones own camera, images can be used as wallpaper and even sent to other phones. Additionally, this modern technology also allows a picture taken from a digital camera to function as your phone wallpaper but you will need to upload the image to your phone.

You may even add texts to the pictures to add distinctness to your wallpaper as cellular phone wallpapers are merely used to add beauty and personality to your cell phone. Of course all this is more recent technology and not everyone changes their phone every six months and not having this facility should detract from the pleasure you can still have from using your cell phone. Additionally, models even without wallpapers can still have their own personality; personalized ring tones may do the job of giving your phone personality as well. For a small number of cell phone users, none of this will matter at all because they only need the phone to make calls and the occasional SMS message.

The functionality of the cell phone should not come second to customization and new backgrounds will not help you send an urgent text or call will they? You do not need fancy cellular phone wallpapers or ring tones to have a functional phone as they’re only purpose is to provide the cell phone with an individual look. Many people become angry by others use of phones so remember that you have a responsibility to others when you make a call. Cell phone etiquette exhibits your personality, the users personality is more important that your phone having personality.

Even if your phone does not include such high technology and innovative features, if you can turn off your phone during meetings and avoid having to annoy the other person in front of you, you are exhibiting a personality that is intrinsic in you. The type of wallpaper will not impress people as much as you turning your phone off in a meeting and may induce others to copy your good cell phone etiquette. Respect is a two way street so to have respect from others means you have to earn it and then there is the opportunity that others around you will copy your lead.
