CES 2010
During CES, Phone Scoop had the rare opportunity to interview celebrity Brooke Shields. What was she doing at the Consumer Electronics Show? She was there to support LG mobile phones, of course. Here's what she had to say about the iPhone, the LG Lotus Elite and the LG Rumor Touch.
PhoneScoop: What phone do you primarily use?
Brooke Shields: Right now I have an iPhone, but I have had more dropped calls than I've ever had in my life, so I am hoping that LG and Sprint will save me from that. When I am on the road I need to talk to my kids, and time is always of the essence.
PS: Why did you get an iPhone?
Brooke: First I got it because it was cool. I felt comfortable with the touch screen. The email was great. Texting was great. I was so happy that I could film my kids and take pictures of them and share them with my husband, The phone was a big problem, though. My time is limited, and when I have a few moments to call my kids, I don't want the call to drop. That's what happened with the iPhone.
PS: What is your favorite feature of the LG Lotus Elite?
Brooke: You mean besides the fact that I can take my own picture? (laughs). I like that it closes and I like how compact it is. It feels good, I like the way that it feels in my hand. I can put in it my purse or pocket and not redial someone. That's important to save from some embarrassment. The fact that I can close it and know that I am safe is big for my relationship and my friends.
I also love that it doesn't drop calls. Sprint has been really good about that.
You've also got music, the camera is great and the video is amazing. I love that I can video my kids at soccer and ballet.
I am also technologically challenged. I still like paper, so I need things to be easy and I still want to be cool. I want to look like a cool mom.
PS: What is your favorite app?
Brooke: I don't use Facebook or Twitter. I already feel like there's too much public access to my life, and I feel like people don't need another avenue into my personal life. But I text a lot. The keyboard of the Lotus Elite makes that easy. I really like the way the keyboard feels. If someone doesn't answer their phone fast enough, I'll text.
PS: What is your favorite feature of the LG Rumor Touch?
Brooke:I am excited about the Rumor, which has a touch screen. The numbers are nice and big. I love the keyboard and I love the touch screen. Because I am in a place where I'm learning new technology, it's nice to have both the keyboard and touchscreen. It is a nice segue way. I feel like I need both. LG has bridged that gap for me. They've made it stylish, and sexy and you still have good functionality. They've made it accessible to someone like a mom.
