Possible Answer:
My cell phone is very important to me as it helps me communicating my friends, family members, teachers and gets me connected with the people I care. I use internet in my cell phone, check my mails, update my blog, track the statistics of my website, send and receive SMS, play games, listen to music, take pictures and then share in my Facebook, Google plus and twitter profile. Besides these I do lots of other things in my cell phone including using important apps, reading e-books, using it as a modem to use internet in my PC etc. My father game me the money to buy a cell phone and I bought the HTC desire X cell phone from an authorized seller. So my father actually gave the mobile phone to me.

This smart phone has versatile usages and is very special to me. I spent a significant time with this device and some of them are very positive for me like updating my blog and reading e-books. This is a small device with approximately 6.5 x 4 inch dimension but it is a powerful tool and the internet connection in it makes it even more powerful. The first and foremost specialty of this device is that it lets me get connected with my family members and friends. Second, it is an amusement and recreational device that lets me play games and listen to music. Third, I can update my social networking profiles and get updates of my friend right from my cell phone. I had to go to a cyber cafe to check an email or to send one before I purchased this smart phone. Now I have this handy device that I can easily use to connect to internet. Since this is an android OS device I can download many application and tutorials and learn new things. Sometimes I take photos and then share it with my friends. Communication has become so easy and convenient with the help of this cell phone.

Yes, if needed I can give this device to someone who I care about but I will then have to own another one. It's not like I will give this cell phone to someone and then would stop using any cell phone or switch to an ordinary phone. What I mean is, I can give this particular phone to someone but can't stop using a Smartphone.
Technological advantages have made things easier especially communication and my cell phone is a really unavoidable and inevitable device to me.
