I love a good functional phone, basically a phone that works well, just like anyone else. But I have to admit I pick my phone based on style. I'm willing to pay the extra (and so are many people) for extra features that fit my needs and a good looking design. I'm not a Nokia fan, but this is a personal opinion. 2 MP camera is nice, I guess it doesn't compare to the 3MP cell phones in Japan.
As for people who demand the best, camera, mp3 player, functional phone... there are tons of people who use their camera phone everyday to take just normal pictures. I see them all the time (every day on the street). Of course I just happen to be in HK at the moment.
You can look for a car that's just a box on wheels, or you can get one with power windows and a/c. Why complain about having the option to buy a new phone that has more features. Obviously if the rest of the world thought like "you" then there wouldn't be a market for it. No matter how dumb you think other people's opinions are, you still need to live with other people... Though I guess you can always go back to your MMORPG...
Anyways, since everyone is throwing in their 2 cents, I might as well throw in mine.
Through out my consumer hard drive purchasing life so far, I've found IBMs to be the best. My brother has an older IBM from an old Dell system he purchased years ago. That has been rock solid even 5 or 7 years after purchase date, fast, and quiet. I purchased a 30 Gig 75GXP 7200 rpm about a year or so ago, and it has run fine with me, even with just stock cooling. Granted it resides within my basement which is admittingly cooler than the rest of the house. But to date, I've had no issues with it, I take the system out to Lans frequently enough in the past, I purchased an OEM version from Onvia so the packaging was okey, even traveling accross the border. I've never run into these IBM harddrive issues people keep mentioning online.

How about starting off with some fun training to keep your mind flexible. Something you can do a few minutes a day.
