This afternoon I had lunch with Mr. Marc Brown and some other fine folks from Buzznet. As you might expect, the camera phones were out in force. Except for mine... I didn't have it with me.
I've never been a big phone person... I don't like talking on them much. Something about the disconnect it creates has always bothered me. I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is... Other than I'm weird.
Less than two years ago I finally gave into the cellphone craze. Mostly because I was excited about the potential of having a camera and a phone together in one tasty package. I took pictures like crazy. I really like the ability to snatch little low quality pictures on a whim. I never got into the phone half though. I rarely use it. Lately it's left at home more often than not... My latest bill had less than half an hour of usage:
Nights and weekends: unlimited / 5 mins used Included minutes: 200 mins / 21 mins used Mobile data: 1mb / 0kb used
I clearly need a new plan. And maybe a new phone too... Something that has a camera but is very small so it's easier to carry around. I should look at the options I have now that AT&T and Cingular have merged.
