          Couldn't see the need to pay for it. by werehatrack 2007-06-12 18:06:21
The in-house teenager hasn't asked for the service to be added to the cell contract, and for myself I intentionally sought out an old monochrome-display Nokia so that I would have a screen that was readable in bright daylight (Nokia's color screens, IME, are not readable in bright light) and was quite happy that it was not set up to facilitate text messaging (it would do them, but not in a manner that I want to fiddle with). The SO loathes multifunction devices; to her, the cell phone should be a bloody cell phone, not a cell phone plus browser plus PDA plus gps tracker plus coffee maker plus tire inflator. (Okay, she's willing to use the alarm clock feature, and she stopped wearing a watch when the cell phone's time display turned out to be easier to read, but those are concessions of a minor nature. Her principal objection is that when a given multifunction device fails, an entire suite of functions is lost instead of just one; she prefers to not put too any dependencies into a single device; she'd rather have four widgets whose operational capabilities might or might not overlap than one superwidget that does everything...particularly since her experience has been that superwidgets generally do everything somewhat worse than the dedicated single-purpose tools they purport to replace.) As a result, my cell phone doth not txt, and I do not miss it.
