Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / March 2004What new features do you want in a phone?
I'd like to see 1-full keyboard on a clamshell that pulls out under the keypad 2-am/fm radio 3-blue tooth and easy transfer of all data to and from computer 4-integrated addresses with the phone numbers 5-GPS with maps 6-infrared for TV remote control, garage door opener 7-MP3's 8-more memory. Like the new Toshiba 4 gig hard drives the size of a quarter all of these are coming however I'd really like to see is: 9-stun gun attachment. I'd like a stun gun attachment to my phone. Think about it. You take the phone everywhere and now with the phone having calendars and applications and games, why not? I take my phone around with a belt clip. It'd be nice to be able to use it as self defense. Sure there would be issues with airports and such which is why you would have an attachmentment so you could remove it. TIP: I used to get lost when parking my car at the mall. Now I just take a picture of where I'm at and use the voice memo to record info. Youcan do that at them parks or even as a locater map of where you have been (say hiking). I know some GPS have Automap that maps where you have been. > I'd like to see > 1-full keyboard on a clamshell that pulls out under the keypad [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > 7-MP3's > 8-more memory. Like the new Toshiba 4 gig hard drives the size of a quarter You don't mind if it weighs 14 ounces? >> 5-GPS with maps and a dvd drive for geographical data. >> 6-infrared for TV remote control, garage door opener And a megawatt pulsed IR laser to transmit IR through a garage door. and a fire extinguisher to put out the fires. >> 7-MP3's why not also play movies, have a 5D cell flashlight, and a 15" subwoofer? Maybe you'd like something like the jeep branded joke/kluge sold at walmart? Now you're talking. It wasn't long ago that the thought of what we have now was science fiction. I would also like to see the cases have photo cells to charge up the battery all day long(prototypes exist) and a front projection to beam the video image onto a table and you type on the table instead of the keypad (prototype exists) and have the local newspaper be downloaded onto the phone all day long. > >> 5-GPS with maps > and a dvd drive for geographical data.

Now you're talking abouta 20 pound device > Now you're talking abouta 20 pound device You know what, Phil? I think you may have finally shed your title as most clueless poster here. In fact, your knowledge of the phones themselves is very good. Too bad you can't stick to that and delve into the areas where you don't have a clue. >>Now you're talking abouta 20 pound device > > You know what, Phil?

Oh yeah, and no more pounds. Remember when car phones were bricks? Advances in fuel cells and solar technology might allow batteries to encases on the case. > > Now you're talking. > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Now you're talking abouta 20 pound device > Oh yeah, and no more pounds. Remember when car phones were bricks? Yes...and remember when they "portables" were a 20# briefcase and mobiles were the size of a small suitcase. The ability to download pictures directly to my computer without having to go through Sprint and pay them for it. > The ability to download pictures directly to my computer without having to > go through Sprint and pay them for it.

SnapMedia from Future > Dial, or DataPilot Thanks very much for the info. Awesome! That's exactly what I wanted. I had always thought my 8100 should be able to do what a very basic low resolution digital camera can do. Even if it can do other things with my pictures, the third-party software and USB cable provides that one missing capability. > I'd like to see Not sure why, but the wife thinks that there should be a button that'll set the vibrate mode on ---- and leave it on until she turns it off. Says she'd have one less thing to carry on her business trips. As it is now she makes me call her, but then wont answer the phone. Women --- who can figure them. > TIP: > I used to get lost when parking my car at the mall. Now I just take a > picture of where I'm at and use the voice memo to record info. And here's my tip --- smoke less pot --- it makes finding the car easier. > I'd like to see 1) A cellphone where you don't have to ask people to repeat what they said. 2) A cellphone that doesn't drop calls so much. 3) A cellphone .. oh, nevermind. You get the point. >> I'd like to see > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >3) A cellphone .. oh, nevermind. You get the point. That's it! That's the thing! This is what I always want to say in response to this question. I want a cellular phone that does what a landline does...PERIOD! That is to say, completes calls from anywhere, to anywhere, and transmits a clear, strong, noise-free, well defined signal that sustains from the beginning to the end of the call. IMO THEN, and ONLY THEN, after the technology has achieved that, should cellular companies begin ladling on extraneous doodads. The truth is that all of the extra functions - handy though they may be at certain times for some people - are merely distractions from the fact that calling on a cell phone is to calling on a landline as navigating with a small, loose rudder in choppy water is to driving with brand new radials on a straight, newly finished highway in good weather. Obviously, cell phone companies are trying to achieve the ideal, but in the meantime they've got to keep acquiring customers to stay in business, and that requires selling toys.

Like the new Toshiba 4 gig hard drives the size of a quarter You do realize how heavy this unit would be, don't you? The phone itself would be twice as heavy, and I don't even want to think how heavy the battery would be ... MP3's. SPCS already did that with their Uproar phone and it didn't sell that well. > all of these are coming however I'd really like to see is: > 9-stun gun attachment. <snipped> > TIP: > I used to get lost when parking my car at the mall.

I know some GPS have Automap that maps where you have been. That's a decent idea for those who have short memory spans or going out to party hardy ... Bib We went to Universal Studios the other day. Each area in the parking lot is labeled jaws or et or whatever. I tested this out even though I know my way around (I used to direct TV shows for a national cable network there before they went under). I took pictures every so often. On the way back I gave the phone to my nephew and told him to find the car. I used the voice memo for row and isle. He found it pretty easily. I wonder what other uses people have thought up to help them out besides taking pictures at strip joints(been there. done that). > > I'd like to see > > 1-full keyboard on a clamshell that pulls out under the keypad [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Bib |
