Re: Um...the point is?
...Takes way to long to type in accurately when yer peeing yer pants photographing the Eiffel Tower! lol.
Heck, although this is a LAME comparison, (and I mean L A M E!!), Virgin Moble has a dial-up system where you let yer phone hear a song you want the info for, and within a minute or so, it SMS's you back with the info based on song recogniton... Of course, it costs like a buck to do it, and I can "google" it mucho faster, but i guess when at a party, you might be more popular....
Then again, that's the exact audience Virgin is charging for....
For me, It's just a free PAYG, $0.10/min anywhere fone... And yeah, VM nickle and dimes you to death if you let them... And their data service kinda blows, but in the end I find it cheaper to pay $5 a month for what, 50MB of data, whichever comes first... Works fine for serious stuff like bad weather, radar, and other common mundane services other than d/l all the new ringtones at $2.00 each.... I'll hack my own when I need more... heh.
