I don’t really want anything else out of a phone other than good battery life and the ability to make and recieve phone calls and send and recieve sms messages. I also don’t really listen to music “on the go”; I much prefer just listening to the sounds of the environment I’m moving through.<\/p>\n

However, I may eventually get an iPhone or iPod Touch. Why? The games. I tend to buy hardware for a game platform when there are enough games (released or imminent) to justify the purchase. This happened pretty quickly for the Wii and DS, but took a lot longer for the PS3, PSP, and finally the Xbox360.<\/p>\n
