| Re: Just a phone ... Your response brought to light how automakers are throwing in all kinds of crap into cars such as MP3 players, Bluetooth devices, etc.
Like you, I just want a car that is good at being a car and not a mobile entertainment center....like there isn't enough ON THE ROAD to distract you. Now you have additional crap in your car to do it!

| Re: Just a phone ... Amen, what every happened to a vehicle being a vehicle. I thought that the primary reason for a vehicle was to get from point A to point B as safely as possible. The MP3 players, Bluetooth devices, etc., and texting, talking and, probably, watching video's on the iPhone, GPhone, whatever, don't give me a warm fuzzy feeling when driving down the road. And yeas I only want a phone that can send and receive calls. | |

| Whenever the Verizon Wireless guys ask me "What do you want your phone to be able to do?", I always answer "Make calls." Everything else, to me, is icing on the cake.
However, I've come to expect one more thing from my cell phone: openness. Ideally, I'd like to take an MP3 that I've made and upload it to my phone by myself to set as a ringtone. I'd also like to be able to import/export contacts and download any photos/videos that I took. My previous phone (LG VX8100) let me do that via BitPIM, but apparently Verizon locked down my new phone (VX8350) so that BitPIM can't work with it. Instead, they want me to pay them $2 each for ringtones from VCast.
Thank goodness for MyxerTones.com. | |

Amen!
I am so over the "cool phone crowd" and the smaller is better, and can't have antenna, and has to flip open, or slide, or flip up or some other drivel...
Bring back The Brick! Long live the UHC8000.
