I'm a little eccentric about cell phones.
I'm not allowed to comment extensively on cell phone issues--I work in the industry. I'd be violating my professional ethics to comment as an informed insider on most of the interesting matters in mobile phones. Still, I can't resist a minor comment.
I've been switching cell phones a bit lately, not unusual, considering my profession, and I've noticed that I really don't like fancy phones. I like having a QWERTY keyboard for text messaging, but not enough to go with such a large, expensive phone. What I find I need are only a couple of minor features. I love Bluetooth for hands-free operation, voice dialing goes nicely with that, and I like having faster web (but I can live without it, I don't use much). It's nice to have the status of a cool new phone with lots of cachet, but I'm over that now.
Oh, and I like sliders and candy bar phones, much more than flip phones. Maybe I'm not that cool?
