There is a solution. If you want one with all the bells and whistles you have to learn how to ring the bells and blow the whistles. Otherwise you are wasting your money.

Sometimes you simply don't have a choice when it comes to the "bells and whistles." Have you gone shopping for a cell phone lately? I'm still using a 4 year old cell phone because I don't want all the nifty new stuff available. In fact, when it died, even though I was eligible for a new phone on my plan, I opted to use my "cell phone insurance" to get an exact replacement phone, once I was able to locate one at a Verizon store. No web access. No GPS, Text messages shut off. And as a bonus, all of my old accessories, like extra, high capacity batteries worked: I didn't have to buy new ones, saving me about $100.

Many times you can't get something without the bells and whistles.

BTW, you can blame the marketing department for that - They're the ones who came up with the product spec; the engineering department just implemented it.
