Nokia 6650, Super 3G Phone

Ch_Omega writes "Nokia has announced the 6650, which in short, is the first phone ever to meet the 3G-standard! It combines GSM and WCDMA into a single handset, then throws in a VGA still camera and video camera with sound. More info on Infosync and and Nokia forums!"

Then we can work on running out of ipV6 space. Each one of my socks can have an ip address! Where's my blue shirt? I'll just ping it!

It's okay, if you look at
this
you'll notice you really don't want to be anywhere near this phone. Apparently it's "connect anywhere / to anything" ability has rather a microwave-oven effect on the people beyond the lens of its camera.

Don't sweat it.

All the 3G in the world won't change the fact that 99.9% of cell-phone conversations are moronic anyway:

A: Where are you?

B: I'm on th' terlet, huh huh! Where're you?

A: HOLY CRAP I'M ON THE TERLET TOO! What'cha doin', "number one"?

B: Nope, "number two"! Plop, plop!

A: HUH HUH HUH!

B: I'm wipin' my ass now! I'm wipin', I'm wipin'! What'cha doin' now, huh? Huh?

A: I'M WIPIN' TOO!

Brief pause...

A: You still wipin'?

B: Nope, ain't wipin.

A: So, uh, what'cha doin'? Where are ya'?

Later, rinse, repeat...

What we need, for example, is technology that will summarily strangle anybody who actually uses a cell phone. That, I think we'll all agree, will improve quality of life for everybody, just like Jesus meant for technology to do.

Until then, I'll just go on tripping morons who walk down the street yapping into their fists and bumping into each other.

The 3G way

You think 3G camera prohes won't change that?

A: Look what I just did in the terlet!

B: HUH HUH HUH!
