Default I dont get it.

So i got a new phone. LG Incite. Im pretty stoked with it. But there is something i dont understand...

This device works as a
Cellphone,
GPS,
Internet Browser,
Mobile Microsoft Office,
Mobile Email,
Text messaging
Instant Messaging
FM Radio,
XM Radio,
MP3 Player
Video Player
Camera,
Video Camera...
Calculator
Calander
It can ID Songs
I can write on the screen and it changes it to text
I can see real time where all my buddys with smartphones are on the map.
I can download movies, music, any other sort of media.


The amount of sophistication of these smartphones is staggering, to even call it a phone is almost an insult to the device, it seems there is nothing they can not do!

All of this, for a paltry $79 and a service agreement totalling $780 a year, or $65 a month.

That is an amazing amount of ability for the price!


SO WHY DOES IT COST OVER $3,000.00 TO BLOW AIR INTO AN ENGINE??????????????????????????

Wait, I have a piece of crap Motorola flip phone. Not the Razor or anything.

It seem like I am behind everytime I sign a contract. Once I get signed up, a new breakthrough in cell phone technology happens.

I'm definately going touch screen next time.
