I'll take a phone with better call quality, longer battery life, and wireless security over these gimmicks any day.
Better call quality has nothing to do with the features of the phone, it's the network of the carrier - and they don't make the phones. If you want longer battery life then buy an extended life battery - but don't complain that it's twice the size of the normal one. A decent part of wireless security - viruses and whatnot - have to do with what you, as the user, choose to do with your phone - just a like a computer. Now as far as security goes with listening in on conversations, well they're pretty damn secure as it is since most carriers use dynamically changing digital frequencies for the specific calls. To listen in on a cell conversation takes some pretty heft equipment at quite a penny. If that bothers you still then you'll just have to find secured landlines when you want to talk about sensitive stuff.

Well then I imagine you wouldn't want to watch TV with your phone. Hypothetically if you wanted to, then don't buy such a small phone.
Personally, I used mobiTV for a few months when it came out. I got it for free so I was like what the hell. It wasn't bad...for a start. Its different than playing Snake or Pinball while you're out somewhere waiting on something - NOT DRIVING!. Its a forward step towards being able to do other things with your phone - I'm not a big fan of TV; I don't even own one. PDA phones are a good thing I think, one less thing to carry, charge, back-up, etc. I just think size and ease of use is the biggest issue for me personally. |
