I think it's only a matter of time until they all amaglamate anyway. We already have calls over the internet, tv, radio and everything else. There's surely a time when we have one wireless net that deals with all the traffic. Instead of hooking up to a mobile network, phones will just be limited 'puters that are dedicated to calls or something.
Hopefully. Or they'll just make palmtops so complicated and small that you can't buy a decent, small phone anymore. Fuckers. I just want a
small decent camera, and a
small phoen that just does calling and text. I don't need a colour display or a camera on it, so spend the time making the camera small! Then the battery will last for weeks, too.
i have that.
• sony cybershot-U
• samsung S300
as an indication of small: the latter fits in my jeans' (levis) fob pocket with just over a centimeter between it and the top of the pocket, and i can put my thumb down beside it to the base of the phone.
only available 2nd hand now, because it doesn't have a camera and so the marketing droids are convinced it won't sell (or rather more to the point: it won't impress their bosses)
