Who wants to be around a smartie-phone?
I just upgraded my mobile phone.
First off, I'd like to say that I didn't really want to. I was really happy with my old phone; his name was "Phone." I could use Phone to make calls. I could use him to receive calls. He even had a cool digital clock.
Phone also had a bunch of ultra-modern features. He had a directory of all my friends built in so that whenever I could figure out how to get to the directory, Phone would go ahead and dial people for me. The people that Phone called were usually not the people I had intended to talk to, but over the years I found that I kind of enjoyed that element of surprise.
Phone had built into his back a pretty good camera, which I used from time to time to take pictures of the change in my pocket. Or my thumb. And he had a microscopic keyboard, so that whenever someone sent me a text message like this:
"Hey! How are you?"
... I could just snap open that little keyboard and use my thumbs to nimbly type out a reply:
"lgi uh dfov, to the lajniak! ;-}"
