As it is one of the most recognisable movie franchises in history, there’s not a man alive who has not dreamed of uttering the eternal words, “The name’s Bond, James Bond.” But which Bond do you want to be? Charming bad boy Sean Connery? Super smooth, eyebrow-arching Roger Moore? Brooding beefcake Daniel Craig? Uh, Timothy Dalton? Whichever 007 you want to emulate, the methods are all hidden within your smartphone; here are five ways to unlock them.
1. Get the Tux
No self-respecting secret agent would be caught without at least one tuxedo hanging in his closet, so get the stylish shopping app GILT and choose your garb from the likes of Prada and Gucci. (Just remember to leave room inside the jacket for your Walther PPK.)
2. Find the girl
Because of his unique career, James Bond has to wine and dine (and occasionally kill) beautiful femme fatales all over the globe. We don’t have that luxury (the wining and dining, of course), so get a little help from Top 5 iPhone Apps To Pick Up Girls.
3. Head to the casino
I often wonder how James Bond affords his extravagant lifestyle; well, being consistently victorious in high-stakes Blackjack games can’t hurt. You can visit casinos via the screen of your iPhone and the great thing is there’s no dress code, so if you want to skip number one and play in your pajamas, there’s nobody there to stop you! When you’re trying to figure out which online games sites are the best, make sure that you pick a classy one; Bond wouldn’t be seen slumming it and neither should you.
4. Mix the perfect Martini
Ensure that your Vodka Martini is perfectly shaken with Mashable’s 10 Classy Cocktail Apps On your iPhone, with not a stirrer in sight.
5. Climb into the car
Unless your salary is in the stratosphere of a top-ranking MI5 official or you’re planning a Blofeld-esque hold-the-world-to-ransom caper, it’s doubtful that you’ll be able to afford the £1.2M price tag on the Aston Martin One-77. However, Top Gear Magazine have come up with the next best thing. Sort of. Their free Aston Martin Special details the adventure that they had driving one of the sleek hypercars across the Dubai desert. Plus, you can visualise firing Jeremy Clarkson out of the ejector seat, which can only be a good thing.
So, there we have it; you too can be the suave, debonair ladykiller that is 007, with just a few taps on your smartphone’s screen. If you’ve got any other tips on how to get more Bond-ish, just leave a comment below.
