It wasn’t too long a go that pink mobile phones were as rare as a pink elephant yet today almost every major manufacturer in the market can boast to having at least 1 pink phone available for their customer base.

Even ‘metrosexual’ men have started to at least consider purchasing pink mobiles after their hero Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard was spotted using a pink flip mobile phone in a nightclub recently (although his press agent later claimed its colour was ’caused by the disco lights’ and was in fact red) and there are now several models marketed regularly towards men.

The majority of pink mobile phones though are of course firmly aimed at girls and young ladies. The choice of phone can say a lot about it’s owner and is often considered a major fashion statement. Some girls want to state their femininity with a girly girl pure pink mobile while for others they simply love the colour and choose pink mobiles because pink is now ‘in’ again.

Whatever your reason for considering mobile phones in pink, you are probably going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking one with so many now on the market. Your best option is to select all the models that are available in pink and then to make your decision based on your budget, the network deal and the phones specifications.

Here’s a few pink mobile phones to suit all budgets.

The Motorola Razr V3 is a satin pink mobile phone on the Vodophone network. This was one of the first on the market in pink so is getting a little dated now. At just £36 on pay as you go though its still a steal for those on a small budget. It comes with a low-res camera and by today’s standards a poor 5MB of memory.

For those on a contract looking for pink mobiles you can get the LG Shine for free when you renew. This ‘very’ pink slider phone comes with a 2 mega pixel camera and is so shiny it doubles up as a make up mirror.

If your budget stretches to something a little more up market you might want to consider the Nokia 7373, one of the best pink mobile phones on the market today. At around £220 it’s not cheap but it is sim free. It features a full-color 2 inch LCD display, an integrated 2-megapixel digital camera with video capture built in, an integrated FM radio and MPEG4 player. Its also got 2 stereo speakers and 2GB of storage space for all your music.

Finally, for the ultimate fashion statement in pink mobile phones take a look at the 18k Rose Gold Nokia 6500 Slide Luxury Mobile Phone. Made in England from solid 18K gold it costs around £800. With built in video camera and auto focus camera plus TV out capability, this is a mix of precious metal and modern technology and with a price tag to match!
