Love It Or Leave It: David Beckham With Cell Phone Clip

GeekSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:00:48 -0700

It was almost excusable when we caught Courteney Cox and Joel Madden rocking chunky cell phone holders, but when Molly caught the always fashionable David Beckham hanging with his boys and wearing his BlackBerry on his belt it was just, well, heinous.

I understand he probably doesn't want to cover up the beautiful assets he recently displayed in W Magazine, but even a man purse would look better than this belt clip.

Becks baby, you can't rock Victoria's shiny new Bentley and a $9 cell phone holder at the same time. I may not be as chic as FabSugar, but this much I know. What do you think? Do you love Becks' cell phone clip and all or should he lose it?

Are Cell Phone Belt Clips The New Pocket Protectors?

GeekSugar — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 00:06:31 -0800

Okay, not all cell phone belt clips look as awful as the one in the picture below, but it's my belief that some nerds have traded in their pocket protectors for cell phone belt clips because they just "gotta have their phone on them."

Of course, it's harder for guys because they don't have purses, but even a manbag is more chic than a belt clip and I've seen plenty of otherwise stylish women tying to pull off the look too. I blame Sex and the City for bringing back the fannypack - even if it was Gucci.

Love It Or Leave It: Joel Madden's Cell Phone Clip

GeekSugar — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 09:02:00 -0700

Molly caught the "famous-for- questionable -reasons-but-looks- darn-cute-in-a-head-scarf starlet Nicole and her tattoed and sleeveless ruffian boyfriend Joel" this week - her words not mine! - and while she noted the couple has been out and about spending money and wearing rings on their wedding fingers, I think she may have missed a key accessory.

Yep, look closely, that's right.....Joel is actually wearing a cell phone clip. I know we've already deemed the only thing worse than cell phone belt clips are pocket protectors, but clearly Joel hasn't gotten the memo. Does he get a free pass because he's carrying a giant Dior bag, or does he need a geek-over stat?

Why Do Celebrities Love Ugly Cell Phone Clips?

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 10:00:34 -0700

Last week PopSugar reported that Courteney Cox hit up Il Sole with her daughter, little Coco. I couldn't help but notice the usually chic Cox was sporting an awkward, "this was inspired by a 47-year-old business man" cell phone clip on her belt.

Sadly, Courteney isn't the only celebrity to commit this major geek faux paux. Nicole Richie's fella Joel Madden was also spotted wearing his BlackBerry on his hip recently, leading me to believe that somewhere there are a pack of stylists or personal assistants encouraging the use. Yes, I know, they are important, busy people, but your phone shouldn't be worn as an accessory in any circumstance.

As always, my advice is to get a more chic and discreet cell phone holder, which will allow you to keep your phone within reach, but not attached to your body.

"No Signal" Cell Phone Reception Clips From Horror Flicks

GeekSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 03:50:05 -0700

Whenever I think of scary movies and phones, Scream instantly comes to mind - especially the gory Drew Barrymore kitchen scene - yikes! Back in the eighties and nineties, most horror movies had serial killers cutting phone lines so when the victim (usually helpless young women) went to call the police, the phone would be dead. Nowadays, screenwriters can't write this classic scenario into scripts because a majority of people have swapped their landlines for a cell phone. So what's a screenwriter to do? They are to play up the lack of cell phone service conundrum. Rich Four Four has put together this amazing compilation of 66 movies from 2000 that have done just that.

Is Cell-Phone Snooping Ever OK?

TresSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 09:00:00 -0700

Is going through someone's text messages OK if you suspect he's up to no good? That was the question on The Hills this week: Heidi goes through Spencer's text messages, finds a text from a bartender he'd been flirting with, and promptly deletes it. In therapy, all Spencer can talk about is how Heidi shouldn't have gone through his phone. I hate to agree with Spencer, but I'd be annoyed too.

Would you ever snoop in your significant other's cell phone if you suspected he or she was cheating? Or do you think snooping is a bad idea under any circumstance?

Do Tell: What Are Your Biggest Pet Peeves?

TresSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:10:00 -0700

Since it's National Pet Peeve Week I want to know: what gets under your skin? (Hopefully, it's not commemorative weeks for random things like pet peeves!) I'll start you off with some of mine.

Emails that lack proper grammar and capitalization.
Friends who take long cell phone calls while we're hanging out.
Corner markets that charge me $.25 to use my credit card.
Getting my meal at a restaurant after everyone else has already eaten theirs!
People who stand in front of the bus entrance, making me have to force my way through them.
Fingernail clipping in public.
The airport security liquids rule.
Cable personalities who make mundane stories sound like the end of the world.
People who eat stinky food in tight quarters.

Pheeww! I feel better. Now tell me yours.

Ask a Geek Girl: What Does In-and-Out Holster Mean on My BB?

GeekSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:28:01 -0700

Dear GeekSugar,
I just got a new BlackBerry and was very excited to select my new ringtone and SMS notification sounds. When I am in my profiles, there's an option for setting for In Holster and Out of Holster, but I don't know what that means. Please help!
- New BlackBerry Owner

Dear New BlackBerry Owner,
You'd never guess it, but there are still people who choose to keep their BlackBerry in a holster (otherwise known as a cell-phone clip or case). All BlackBerry's feature a magnetic sensor right under the keyboard, and most BlackBerry holsters feature a magnet as well, so when your BlackBerry is in one of these cases, you can utilize the "in-holster" settings. So say you want your phone to vibrate for both emails and phone calls when it is in its holster, you can set your phone to do so.

Do you have a tech question you'd like to ask us? Join the Ask a Geek Girl group where you can ask everything and anything related to technology. And you never know, it could be featured on GeekSugar! Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.

Oops! Nadya Suleman Breaks the Hands Free Cell Phone Law

GeekSugar — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 03:00:33 -0700

One would think, especially with so many children, Nadya Suleman would be a safety pro and abide by California law by using a Bluetooth device or a hands free cell phone earpiece while operating a motor vehicle.

Sadly, this wasn't the case when the famous mother of fourteen was caught yesterday gabbing on her cell phone while driving by police. The Hands Free Law - which kicked into effect last July - is intended to make drivers more aware while driving - and therefore decreasing traffic accidents. With fun iPhone apps and hands free earpiece devices like the one Eva Mendes uses, there really aren't any excuses.

Now onto something more entertaining, a recent funny clip from Desperate Housewives when Susan had a similar Nadya incident. To watch just read more.

Kim Kardashian Hacks Into Another Cell Phone

GeekSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 03:45:48 -0700

The Kardashian girls were up to their old tricks again on this week's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians when Khloe started having some reservations about her boyfriend, basketball player Rashad McCants. Kim, the 007 of cell phone hacking, was able to break into Rashad's cell phone's voicemail to see if there was anything worthy of confirming Khloe's fears. Let's just say that she ended up dumping the guy. Have you ever listened to a significant other's voicemail?

And to watch the clip from last season when Kim looked at Kourtney's boyfriend's phone, just read more.
