My new cell phone is groovy
:P

It has a built in MP3 player, a 1.3 megapixel camera, can record and play video, and all kinds of other neat stuff.

Electronic gizmos and toys are fun :)

2. Oh yeah, and it can track your movement down to the yard
And even know what speed you're traveling at:bounce:

Congratulations, you are now carrying your own personal tracking device. Enjoy!

3. Electronics are so much fun.
I have an LG VX8100. Great phone, even has a miniSD card for more photos/mp3s!

6. mini or microSD? This one has micro and that card is TINY
I'm scared to take it out of the phone, it might dissolve :). It came with a tiny 32mb chip, I might buy a 1gig chip eventually (have to buy the bluetooth headset for it first).

8. this one's a mini
microSD is amazing though - entire volumes of information on a piece of circuitry the size of a fingernail.

16. according to my rudimentary understanding of circuitry and computer chips
we can't make things much smaller with current technology because we are approaching molecular levels.

I'm sure I will be debunked by a resident technophile though!

15. The exact opposite of mine
I went in to get a new phone a few months ago and said "I want the most basic phone you have, preferably free." and the guy started asking me if I used the internet on my phone, or if I took pictures etc and I said pretty much "i don't want a camera or an mp3 player, or a personal assistant. I want a phone and that's all. Just a phone. Nothing else. I don't want it even ABLE to do anything but be a phone. nothing. just a phone."

he kept trying to upsell me and I just stood there shaking my head. "no. Just a phone."

I used to have a gizmo phone adn never really used the gizmo's on it. Sure they were fun to play with at first, but after awhile I abandoned them.
