I told them I didn't want to download ring tones. I didn't want to take and/or send digital photos. I didn't want to connect to the most scaled down version of the internet. I didn't want to text or instant message people. Hell, I didn't want a color screen. I WANTED A PHONE. I am afraid that eventually I will have no choice but to fall victim to the worst, most wasteful cases of feature creep in the history of the universe. Keep in mind that these are the things that they will sell you to keep their margins high. 30943@blogcritics.org Mon, 1 Dec 2003 11:10:31 EST
