I'm sick of cellphones

I'm tired of iphones; I'm tired of g1's. I hate those little cheap sliders that come with one-year contracts on the GSM carriers. I want something ubercool, something that will really turn heads and make people say "WOW NICE PHONE."

Well, for a while I used to browse Plemix looking for the newest unlocked phones from overseas. There are some amazing NEC phones out there. I think most of the phones from South Korea or Japan are light-years ahead of the game. In the US, most people have what works. I am not that cool, I'm not used to phones that have multi-functions. I want things that do ONE thing correctly, and then adapt our lives around it.


I used to not text very much. Now I have the biggest text plan I can afford, and it's alot easier to get me to reply to a text message than a phone call. Most of the time, I'm busy doing something. I don't have time to answer a call. Also, I live in Chicago, and when I'm on the train, there's a good chance I'm not going to have service.

Although, U.S. Cellular has reception on the trains...but CDMA just isn't my thing. I suppose that I'm complaining about nothing; I should just be fine with my Motorola KZR and upgrade to a multi-function phone when it's the standard, not the luxury.

I'm not a broker or someone who needs to be 'in the loop' all the time. Although, it would be nice to have something like a Sidekick.
