I like wrestling and all, but I don't think I would go this far. What would the point be in all of this? Seems like a waste to me.

A body slam on a 2" screen? This service must be aimed at children because adults wouldn't go for this, would they?

I guess I do not fit the mold as a real techie, kinda surprising, since I built my first computer almost a quarter century ago. But all I want my phone to do is make and receive calls. Certainly don't have any use for WWE on my cell phone.

Have you seen the types of adults who shell out money to watch this stuff live or on PPV? I'm sure they will not have a problem paying to watch it on a tiny screen. |

Once again, a cell phone that makes/receives calls is all that I (and most people) need. I'm sure this won't last long. |

Re: My mobile phone
I agree. I love wrestling, but I would never even consider this service. All I want my phone to do is ring and dial out. No text messaging, voicemail, camera, mp3 playback or anything else is needed. |

| So I can watch this, but not...
So they allow me to watch scripted violence, but won't let me access to my legal content via Orb. Right! Nothing is free, not even with an unlimited package. Plus, I am not excited to see the Yahoo name stuck in my phone in so many places. Even Mini Opera signed onto Yahoo instead of Google.
Rant off. |

We've lived in a now/fast/easy/cheap/small/quantity opposed to a quality society for a while now.
We went from 2" tape, to CD, to MP3. We went from DVD, to youtube and iTunes video/128k audio. We went from the same shitty phone sound for 50 years, to a portable version with staticky dropouts of the same sound with cellphones. We went from speakers to tweeters-called-speakers(satellites) with boomy subwoofers. We went from portable CD players you could drop from five feet up and still use, to korean made MP3 players with headphone jacks where one channel gives out after a year due to the torque the plug puts on it when it' hits your pants as you walk.
Who's to say this isn't the next step in an ongoing progression of declining craftsmanship? If no one complains, then nothing will be done, and this is the way everything'll be. You won't be the outcast for liking the crap, you'll be the snob for saying it's not good enough.
