I''m not saying that we need a phone without a camera or bluetooth, I just find it funny that these features seem to have become so standard that to get a phone without them constitutes a special order.
Unlike the Pandora where a camera is an unnecessary cost that has been thankfully left out tongue.gif

That''''s how the market works. It would be too expensive for a phone to not have a camera, and lose all the revenue from people who want one.

edit: And laptops are are becoming funny shapes. It infuriates me.

I think that actually because both blue tooth and a camera are apart of the 3G standard so I phone can''t be 3G unless it has them.

3G just means "third generation". It only refers to the generation of the network, and is not even really a standard. It certainly doesn''t have anything to do with whether or not a phone has BT or a camera.


This thread has gone wildly off topic and no longer has anything to do with the Pandora. The OP''s questions have been answered, so this thread is now closed.
