SassiBob Investigates: Is the HTC Rhyme for Females?

2011-10-17
hi I'm sassy Bob at pocketnow.com and I've got the HTC Rhyme and I decided that I needed to go out into the real world and see if people liked this film now some people say that HTC is stereotyping women by designing a phone in this way HTC claims it's for men and women that's on a lady's phone it's you know well let me ask you is this car gender neutral it's I think we should ask some women at this salon right here and find out like lightweight nice feel to it the images are really vibrant I like to carousel motion you don't like it - what about how do you like the color I really wish so if it was the same price as a phone you'd normally buy would you consider purchasing welcome under wasn't issue I take personally I will buy nobody asks about the specs for the phone even the lady that worked for spread she didn't look like she didn't even care she's like it's purple I love it and it's pretty carousel the guy didn't even ask me there so hey we'll see it's purple and it's pretty oh my god we found some boys have you owned a smartphone before so I was running down the street and I totally came across a bunch of cute college girls and here they are so the Beats headphones come with the ball so what kind of phones do you all have you all have my phones yeah it's a phone company we manufacture the phones you can only get that perfect so what kind of processes now it's better than the iPhone do you think you would use the charm in everyday life I think it would be a solid be good somewhere maybe at work every phone has to be out of the way the speed of the processor when keeping fine phone it's more said the color would and I don't think I could really have a purple phone what about you do you think you could have a purple phone of course I could I think the purple is fine I think the color is a mommy issues so you all like the purple you don't like the purple what's the most important thing about your phone we just think of the color sorry yeah I like it but it's all we care about is you like it and she doesn't like the color no I don't care about color this show is a different color the Android lovers would you guys consider maybe trading in this your your phone that you have now for one of these no probably not because I guess this is me so used to the ones you have all right so we need to find some dudes I think this is a good place let's go see I would say I would definitely use it your friends for me this is one more thing to get in the way I wouldn't go out and purchase one became free I might try it personally I would think it's annoying I like the color would you buy this phone this underwear exact same code my black joyed axe my original intern poem it's not so bright anymore because my hair was dyed perfect I let a lot of people ask me where I got that colorful phone do you think the plum is a masculine enough version a purple that we gotta find a place that seriously has people that won't like purple that aren't women what is the deal with this why why aren't men and women meeting my stereotype for my brain right now I just I don't I don't understand this is New Orleans I guess purple is a color for New Orleans you know it's the royal color or whatever but I just don't get it where's my Houma folks at that's what I'm saying you know I just don't get it we are in the French Quarter on the streets of New Orleans so we need more male perspective so we got this gentleman here does so actually this is 3.5 you know very similar phone already that looks like a blackberry but in the tub boy there's not really like those and navigation features of this phone man by the batter left oh and that's why you had to course yeah you see that right good cord huh okay so another thing I'm realizing here on Bourbon Street is a lot of these people are drinking a lot they're partying it up you know and the guy back there just dropped the phone and I saved it from ultimate destruction just because I was holding the charm though hey I mean you can you can attach it to your pocket or your purse and it's a good thing for alcoholics I guess I'll give the seat you own a phone at this color C plus a plus a plus a plus I would definitely on a phone is color color no I would not this is what I have to say not the greatest poem but for Jordan box that is an Aegis phone right here ah all right so I would also make this video and I was convinced that I was gonna be able to look Jeff Gordon right in the face and be like you're wrong this phone is for women it's like I was wrong I proved myself wrong it's not supposed to happen this is science less women ended up liking the phone than I thought would like the phone and way more men than I thought this it's just so mind-blowing I just I don't even know what to say more than half of the men I interviewed liked the phone that they didn't even either they didn't care that it was purple or they loved the color I thought HTC with stereotyping so bad so we started out I thought I needed to go to you know stereotypical places to get stereotypical opinions right but we're we're in New Orleans and New Orleans is a very different kind of place people people are color proud here it's very different so um we decided to go to Bourbon Street because there's there's a lot of tourists there right if you want a national opinion I guess that's the best place to go to that's convenient for us to drive to and it works a little bit more of my favor but not not nearly enough my personal opinion I love this phone I would almost rather flee the country than have to send it back so what did I learn from this one New Orleans is a terrible place for a national survey to men like plumb way more than I thought they did and three the charm isn't only for women but also for drunk people you win HTC you win yeah what's your name I'm Bob Bob Bob sorry guys I'm sorry about that you
