Camera Phones

I know very well some of you have camera phones, and I am not here to knock them as evil devices, not at all. I was searching verizon, nextel and sprint the other day just to see what cell phones they are offering now, i have no intention of buying whatsoever since my TMobile contract still has till march. SO i went on nextel, and of course most of their phones are like carrying a huge rock in your pocket, they are big and bulky and I;m not a "push to talk" kind of person. Then theres Sprint, who will eventually be merging with Nextel, and they've got their souped up line of camera phones or my other not-so-favorite, the non flip phone. So then I go to Verizon. Verizons phones on their website are displayed so that you dont see the fronts, so you cant tell if they have cams or not. Well after clicking on them, seems that they all do, except again, for the non flips. Im not going to go on all night about this, but I will say this, some of us use our phones specifically as phones. I dont want a fancy ring tone, or the light to flash 20 different colors, I want a regular phone. WHen I got my samsung I originally spent a VERY long time trying to find a regular ring tone for the damn thing because it never came with a standard ring. Now they have cameras and games and videos and all this fucking hoopla. I work in a healthcare office, where all you have to do is turn your head and you can see ten different social security numbers. We are not allowed camera phones in the office and I am sure that there are many offices in which they dont want someone to have the option of covertly taking photos of important documents. Im just trying to say that its almost like the trends in marketing are so great that it completely eliminates the norm. Just drives me bonkers.
