On a Phone…

body

This is a good quote, too long for an excerpt.

Slashdot - perky
Things I want on a phone:
1. Small
2. Lots of space for contacts
3. Synch with Outlook
4. Some flash memory with a USB socket, like a USB memory stick
5. Well designed UI
6. Good audio quality
7. Shold look recognisably like a phone
8. Predictive text

Things I don't want on a phone:
1. Camera
2. Video camera
3. Games
4. Audio recorder
5. mini qwerty keyboard
6. flashlight
7. GPS
8. Compass
9. Microsoft Office
10. A meda player

Things that are acceptable as long as they don't get in the way:
1. GPRS
2. Some kind of WAP/internet thing
3. Bluetooth
4. a Java runtime

Someone is thinking, who wants a camara in a phone anyway??? Some of this stuff is okay, but some of it is rediculous! I must admit I have used some of these features on my dad's phone, but they didn't work really well. What we really need is a PDA that works as a phone, not a phone that works as a PDA. Incidentally, why did he want it to sync with Outlook? Outlook is pretty much useless and is getting worse every release.
