Personally I think this entire cell phone thing has gotten totally out of hand. What’s next, a cellphone that lets you cook dinner remotely so it’s ready when you get home from work?

Ridiculous

Hey..., the next thing with iPhone is going to be “home control” so that the coffee pot starts brewing, the house temperature is brought up (or air conditioning, is kicked into gear), and sensors are checked and/or video feed is glanced at, to see that everything is okay, along with alarm system keyed into notifying you immediately on your iPhone is there is a security breach in your home...

LOL...

Waiting in line for anything like this, like Star Wars or a video game console, or whatever is stupid. Waiting in line for a cell phone is double stupid.

Phones suck, there is basically nothing you can do to a phone to make it not suck, except disconnect it. The only time phones don’t totally suck is in an emergency. Maybe the iPhone causes emergencies so when you have to use the phone it sucks less? Maybe? I don’t know. I am just so grateful I don’t have an iPhone or anything else iCult.

“Personally I think this entire cell phone thing has gotten totally out of hand.”

Agreed. It took me some time before I even felt the need to get a regular cell phone. I live in Arizona, travel a bit, and finally came to the conclusion that since I am a paraplegic I really should have one just in case I got stuck in the middle of nowhere in 110 degree heat. But camp out to buy the latest one? No thanks. My well being and happiness do not depend on having something that will no doubt be replaced by the next gotta-have-it phone in a short time.
