Getting an A in cell phones
![]() |
As a tech-loving girl (or I guess I should say grl), I am so excited about what’s happening with phones! I have a pretty standard cell phone because I can’t afford a fancy new one and my parents are too cheap to get me one. But I do get to try out the new smartphones that Dad brings home to review. I love them!
What’s outstanding is that they can replace my laptop for most stuff. They’ve got maps with GPS, which is cool. (iPhone with true GPS? I’m ready!) Except for that feature that my parents could track where I am. Not nice. But best of all is they’ve now got really good web browsers. Not like the clunky ones on this Crackberry hand-me-down from my dad.
You know what that means right? Very handy for Googling answers when taking tests! As long as you don’t get caught.
(It’s good that I don’t go to Vallivue High.)
Have you ever used a cell phone to “help” yourself on a test? Did you get caught?
Phone makers: bring it on!
My dad is a tech reviewer, so he brings home all sorts of new stuff. Lucky me, cuz I get to try out a bunch of the newest phones. But Dad can be such a Luddite sometimes, which is weird considering his job. He complains that phones are getting “too many features”. No way! I say bring them on!
My ideal phone will let me:
- Write on my Facebook and MySpace pages.
- IM my friends.
- Skype my friend Jenny in Japan (for free!), and in video.
- Look up stuff on Google while I’m taking exams. (kidding, Dad!)
- See where my friends are on a map because they all have GPS.
- Take 10-supermegapixel photos (with flash) and automatically upload them to MySpace and my blog.
- Have my entire ipod music library on it. And let me download more free songs.
- Copy songs from friends’ phones.
- Watch TV shows that are on the Tivo at home.
- Drop it all the time and not break. (titanium plastic invisible case)
- Buy things like it’s an electronic credit card, linked to my dad’s account. (not kidding, Dad!)
- Oh, I guess it should let me call someone too.
Is that too much to ask?
What would your ideal phone do?
