Cell Phony Goodness!

OK, so I have mentioned that I am happy about moblogging with a camera phone, and I’m glad that I use movabletype because it supports this kind of stuff when I have to pay for livejournal to do the same thing. This is all started by my quest for a new phone, because I am getting married and must get a new phone plan, so there is no reason to keep my current one (which I really like as far as old phones go). But I was looking at cnet’s phone reviews, and I stumbled across this which lists a new phone from nokia as having a COMPASS, and a THERMOMETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How cool is that. I mean I wanted to make sure to have a camera phone, with bluetooth (a wireless communication thing so it can talk to the computer) and MP3 ringtones (even better than the polyphonic ones), and voic dialing, but a compass. Now that is cool. It’s like the swiss army phone. All it needs is a can opener and fingernail file. So now I have new requirements for my phone. I want….MP3’s, cameras (still and video), voice activated dialing, downloadable software and games, expansion slots for new memory, bluetooth and infared communication abilities, speakerphone, picture caller ID, can opener, support for the new phone networks, compass, fingernail file, thermometer, digital tire pressure gauge, rotary saw, de-boning knife, surrated blade, fishing line dispensor, duct tape dispensor, laser torch, toothpick, tweasers, clock (I haven’t owned a watch in 3 years), shoe polish kit, electric razor w/ beard trimmer, hair dryer, ability to sync with outlook, time travel mechanism (using the clock in combination with a flux capacitor), fm radio (I dont’ like AM just because of that stupid everclear song), stock ticker, live newsfeed updator thing, wireless web support, your mom, and the kitchen sink (so I can do my dishes when my plane goes down in the desert). Now that, would be a cool cool phone….and I want it free, after rebate with my two year agreement.

It is going to be funny tho, when I actually get one that plays MP3’s as ringtones, and I record my voice saying “HEY!, HEY!, DUMBASS, ANSWER YOUR FRIGGIN PHONE, MAN!” That ought to screw with people.

Anyway, if you see any really cool phones on the horizon, let me know….because until I get my time traveling phone, I can’t into the future and get an even cooler phone, with options that I don’t even know that I need yet.
