Motorola's i95cl
thefalconer writes "MSNBC has a very detailed article about Motorola's new all-in-wonder phone offered by Nextel. It is a PDA, has a Walkie-Talkie, phone, web browser, instant messaging, addressbook, it has a high resolution Color LCD screen, and it's running on a Java Based OS! It even comes in a variety of styles and colors just to your taste. There is so much to this phone that it makes you ask "how'd they get all that, into this tiny little thing?" Makes me want to ditch my old phone for one of these right now!"
Ever try sending a message on a keyboard? MAJOR pain in the ass
You're obviously doing it wrong -- use your fingers!!
required to make a cell phone ring like a normal one?
Gee, maybe because the Unions don't have such a strangle-hold on the economy. How come toenail clippers cost $5.00? Oh sorry, that should be in ERU. I know celular technology is far in advance of what we have here in the states but damn, that's what 6 weeks of vacation I'll get ya.
All we ever needed - more things for idiots to do while driving.
Until then I was using some of the built-in, pre-composed responses. Needless to say one co-worker was confused when I sent him a message saying "I love you"!
But the confusion quickly turned into shared delight as Gary and Tom discovered the vibrating silent-ring feature and sent each other instant messages long into the night.*
Motorola.. bringing people together..

Our phones are larger because they *do more* - see, America is a large place, with lots of spaces. Those spaces are served by analog cell service, and guess what: those analog sending-and-receiving things (we call them radios) add bulk to our phones.
Also, if we crazy-americans can't get out handgun out qucik enough, we can just beat and GSM totin' weasel-faced euro-toll with out CRAZY -HUGE CELL PHONES.
Note: Non San Francisco Americans will never refer to their cell phone as a 'handy'. God knows how the Europeans picked that habit up...but it must have somthing to do with the water. Or the Gremans. There up to somthing - I just know it.
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.

Fluffs? I'm getting one right away...
(sorry - I apologize for that.)
