When buying electronics which do you prefer, something that looks nice, but doesnt have as many features, or something that has more features, but doesn't look as nice?
honestly... you're not half as special as you think you are.

I prefer more features than looks.

But so far, i've been able to balance both.

Hmmm, I think I'm more of a style at first glance person. At least that is what I find when I shop around for electronics. I tend to go to the more stylish looking ones.

But I've been trying to balance myself out by making sure it has the features I want and will use. I like style + function.

I go for substance, and end up having style.. because.. I am awesome.. and I lead trends or something(ya right).
I am the minority here.

i usually go for style more than the substance. but obviously i still would want the features.. just consider the style more.

Substance, style is somewhat important but it is absolutely pointless if doesn't do what its designed to do

I would always go for a 50/50, but if I had to choose. It would be substance because I would like it to work and not crap out on me in couple of months. But if it's really bulky, then a no no, unless it's the Hero.

more style than function. i probably wouldn't use all the functions anyway, so as long as it works all right, i'd buy it because of style. if it had nice features but was really ugly... i probably wouldn't even consider it, considering the fact i probably wouldn't use half those features anyway.

It's more style for me, I never use all the functions of an item anyway; I tend to just use the most basic ones. For example, with cell phones, all I really need is to be able to make calls, text message and it has to have an adress book and has to be easy to text message with. A camera is a plus, and that's really all I want.

Also I usually initially take a look at style. It's more of a way to glance through many many different products. I don't want something that does a lot but looks crappy doing it.
