They think the iPhone is obsolete....do you?
#17
I DON'T WANT TO BUY GAMES, RINGTONES, SCREENSAVERS, PICTURES.

NEWS FLASH: YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

All of that stuff is optional. Is this a great country or what?


It is all about marketing...

Well, that's really an exaggeration, isn't it. Marketing is a big part, but with out a product that performs, the ardor fades quickly.


why don't they make phones that are simply just a super bitching phone? Good sound, great reception, decent sized keys and long battery life.

I think the reasons are twofold- the NIMBY attitude that BG mentions, and the fact that most people seem to want a small phone. That means it's tougher to make it sensitive enough to receive a poor signal (due to lack of towers) and the hand helds are low power compared to the former 3W transportables, etc., with bigger antennas.

The fixes cost big money.
