Unwanted features

What is the use of a mobile phone?

  • Make and receive phone calls
  • Send/receive text messages.
  • A FM tuner (but radio city sucks so I may not opt for it)
  • A MP3 player
  • Extra slot for a SD card.
  • If you are a high end user you may want to sync your e-mails and calendar with your PC.

But why will you want a stupid CMOS camera on your phone? I don't have a use for that so why should I pay for it.
One of the reasons why I still have my Sony T230 (apart from money money money) is that every phone with the feature set listed above comes with a Camera which I do not want to pay for.

For me that camera is like:
  • A Vaccum cleaner with a TV attached. You will not get bored while cleaning.
  • A Fridge with ringtones, You open the door and it plays ringtones.
So Sony T230 lives on.
