    The matter with cell phones is that there is always innovation. A TV set 
is a TV set, there are no news on that. Same to a stereo, what else would 
you want into a stereo? Maybe USB MP3 playing! but in the cell phone area 
there are always news. Every week you can see 3 or 4 new models on Engadget, 
one better than another. I have an "old" Nokia 6600, but I'm hoping I can 
get a N-series soon. Better camera, more memory, bigger screen, faster 
internet!
