But all I need it to do is to make calls.
Today, Apples new Iphone is released. For those of you that are not familiar, it’s a phone, MP3 player, TV, babysitter, butt wiper, and will make a nice chicken cordon blue for dinner, but this just goes to show what myself, and I know many other people need with the modern cell phone. All we need to do is to take and receive calls, nothing else. With my current Job, I’m the position that I carry 2 phones. One of my phones is personal, and I bought it about a year ago. It’s a basic Nextel phone, that does a damn good job of being a phone. I do have some games I can play, and wireless web access which, to be honest, on this phone is useless. My work Cell phone has a fricking camera one it. I’m always taking a picture of the inside of my pocket. When I RTFM, I didn’t see anywhere that I could disable the camera. So I can be walking along, and suddenly “click”. Frankly I don’t need a camera in my phone. I never really wanted a camera in my phone. That is what….say it all together…Camera’s are for. To take pictures. Not your cell phone. When I look at phones now days, I see phones that have MP3 players and can take pictures, and you can also manage your Wall Street account, watch the game on a TV, check to see if you need to take Fido to the vet, and if you are male, give you your yearly prostate exam. All I want is a phone that does a good job of being a phone. When my Nextel dies (which it’s going to, in time) I’m afraid that my next phone, the phone part is going to be an after thought. I will have this nice wonderfully device that can do 100 millions things, but it will be pretty crappy at its main purpose. Taking and receiving calls.
