I can't believe people are talking about, of all things, The War when the clear and pressing need of the West is to devout it's socio-economic power and influence into getting me a N-Gage! Quite obviously my ownership of this glorious, perfect, beautiful, magnificient, splendid, holy, shining, heavenly, and divine device will solve all the problems faced in the clash of civilisations.

I have a nasty feeling that it'll be a jack-of-all-trades, adequate at many tasks and good at none of them.

Of course, by the time Starchild will have one of those, every man, woman and child in Finland will already have had a newer model... for 5 years.

The problem with it though is it's size.
Either it is too big to hold (and carry in your pocket and such) or it is too small, and you won't be able to press the keys properly.

Yes, but can I make a call with it?

I don't have a cellular myself... I guess I'm just odd. And anti-social. And I don't like talking to people over a phone. Or, well, talking to people at all.

That's nice but I want a phone with a builtin digital camera. I'll upgrade when a decent handset comes out.
