We have to hear it twice because I know I'll definitely be using my cellphone underwater.

Maybe tiney isn't so good anymore by TheLoneCabbage · 2003-03-27 02:04 · Score: 4, Funny

My cell phone is 1"x3"x.5" and It's already tough enough to dial without a tooth pick. Soon /. articles will read "Sony debuts new HANDS, for smaller portable Devieces" Ahhh... the price we'll pay for convience. I long for the days when a cell phone was so big it could be used for self defense (swing that battery and become: Connan the Early Adopter!)

  Horrible for the teenage girl market these products are aimed at...
  "I am sorry, the hand you used to dial this phone is too fat. For a special dialing wand please mash your hand on the keypad *now*"
  "AHH! I AM FAT!!!"
  
  Can we really do this to our young teenage girls? Think of the spoiled CHILDREN!
  
  Bah, who buys their phone for how small it is? I buy them for how many lights they have on it.

It may be difficult to get your hands on one though, since the Department of Redundancy Department is interested in acquiring all of them for their amazing water proofing. ... And they're water proof!
Japanese Press Release? by Anonymous Coward · 2003-03-27 02:17 · Score: 0, Funny

OK, now we know how to say "and it's waterproof" in Japanese.

Seriously, doesn't the world realize that the internet should all be in English? And when it's noon in New York, it should be noon everywhere.

I thought we were moving TOWARD standards.

(ok, moderators, it was a joke...)
Nice but... by dfn5 · 2003-03-27 02:19 · Score: 1, Funny

I'll wait until I can get a cell phone in a shoe. And I don't want one of those fancy touch tone phones either. Rotary all the way!
