Holy Asap!

Everyone is all atwitter (no, Joey I have not gotten a twitter account) about these new iphones. Sure they are cool, but I have a few ideas (okay, 2 ideas) about how 'regular' cell phones could be improved.


1. Program curse words into the T9 texting function. This would make my life so much easier. For a while, I would accidentally send out messages such as "Holy Asap" (Holy Crap), "Go dual yourself" (Go fuck yourself), and "Indebomhu!" (Goddammit!). I have finally wised up, and saved these essential words into my T9 program. However, a cell phone would be much cooler if all of these curse words came with the phone from the beginning.

2. Add a phone number texting function. This means that you could go into your phone book, select someone's number, and then text it to another person. How many times has a friend called you asking for a number? Then they have to sit and listen to you beep through your phone book, and then you both have to try to remember the number. And how annoying is it to have to text a number? If there was a texting function WITHIN the phone book, my life would be much easier.

3. This isn't a suggestion to improve my crappy cell phone, but to all of you people (KELLIE COUGH TOMMY) who have not yet switched to T9 texting, WELCOME TO 2007! Evolve or die, my friends. You remind me of an old person who refuses to buy a computer because "computers didn't exist in my day." Well, you know what happens to that old person? HE DIES. Take that as you will.

My brother and I are alike in many ways, but I have evolved beyond him in one critical way: T9 texting. Although my phone is SO old it doesnt allow me to save curse words, I do use T9, and as such end up sending messages like "I'm coming good in wind for dinner."

I will add to your blacklist, though:

Your list is brilliant. I also wish phones would use contractions. couldn't is a word, god dammit!
