What Do Top Blogger’s Cell Phones Tell you About Them? (Part 1)
I recently reached out to many top bloggers asking them this simple question:
What Brand/Model Cell Phone Do you Use?
I received several responses, and I’d like to share them with you, along with what I think their cell phones can tell you about them and their blogs! I was actually surprised with how related their choice of cell phone could be related to their blogging style and business sense.
Jeremy Schoemaker - Shoemoney.com

Jeremy uses a Sprint Treo 755p. I’m proud to say that this is the same cell phone that I use! Now what does this phone tell you about Shoemoney? Well, the Treo is a smart phone, and really helps to manage a busy schedule. It’s also one of the latest in technological advances.
Shoemoney is just like this in that he is an extremely intelligent guy, and while he won’t claim to be an expert in making money online, everyone who has read his blog, or visited any of his endeavors such as Auction ads (now ShoppingAds) and nextPimp knows he is definitely a smart and busy guy. He’s also into the latest of everything, trying to branch out into all sorts of things. His next endeavor is into the world of MMA, something he loves. Having a great cell phone is also shoemoney like in that he made it big first in the cell phone ringtone market!
Having a 755p is a very smart investment. You can use it to go online, easily send text messages, compose emails, take pictures and videos, all stuff that is really important to a blogger. If you want to become a more successful blogger, keep up with the times like Shoemoney and me, and get a 755p!
John Chow - John Chow dot com

John Chow is another equally succesful blogger, and when he got back to me with what cell phone he uses, I was a bit surprised. However, after thinking about it a bit, it really makes sense what phone he uses, as it fits the personality of his blog very well.
The phone that John Chow uses is a moto Razr. Now you might be thinking… that’s not one of the greatest phones there is out there, and I’ll give you that. However, if you think about John Chow and his blog, you know he always leaves everything out there for you, and tries to keep it simple. It’s good enough that people keep coming back for more without being overly complicated. The Razr is just like that, having everything you need in a cell phone while being simple enough not to overwhelm a new user.
Also, like the Razr, when he first made it big, there were many impersonators.
Bryan Clark - One Man’s Goal
Bryan Clark is one of my favorite bloggers. I always know that I’m going to get a quality article from his blog. Hopefully he finds a few on some of my blogs as well. Anyway, Bryan uses an iPhone, which perfectly suits his blog and business sense.
The iPhone is an innovation. It received a lot of hype when it came out. When Bryan first hit the blogosphere, he himself garnered a lot of attention from other top bloggers like Darren Rowse and John Chow. Before he knew it, everyone wanted a piece of One Man’s Goal, and he managed to sell it for quite a hefty profit. He even had the good business sense to buy BACK his blog when the person who purchased it was unable to keep up with it.
Who does that remind you of? Someone who got out and got back in right where he started. That’s right… Steve Jobs of Apple.
So there you have it. The first three bloggers that got back to me on this. I think it’s really cool that they got back to me, and I really appreciate it. What do you think… do any of you share the same traits and cell phones as these top bloggers? I guess I just have to work a bit harder, and I’ll be just like Shoe! I have a good start, we have the same phone ![]()

Right now I am using a Motorola Q. I did have a treo 650 for a while but I upgraded because I wanted windows mobile. I think I will be upgrading to a BlackBerry 8800 but I am debating the extra cost for service.

Well done. I couldn’t really see what direction you were going with this when you emailed me, but it turned out very nice.
Keep up the good work!
