Fantasy Phone

After reading about the stupid shePhone and with Apple releasing the iPhone update today I got to thinking, what do I want from my phone?

First I can tell you want I don't want on my phone:

  • a vibrator

  • pill dispenser

  • corkscrew

  • dental floss

  • pregnancy test

  • condom dispenser

  • portable tanning laser


While I wouldn't use all of them, I could see usefulness of;

  • Perfume/Mace atomizers

  • cell phone jammer

  • Voice analyzer

  • Breathalyzer

  • One touch distress signal with GPS

  • call blocking


I just want to mention once more how stupid and offensive this phone is.
It is suppose to be an ideal phone for women, trying to go beyond the pink and mirror stereotypical. Instead this phone makes it seem like women just want to get drunk, high and laid. It seems more like a young jet setter's purse than a serious phone.












And back to reality...



While the new iPhone update seems very exciting, I am going to hold off updating. There are several hack applications that I have grown very fond of and want more than what Apple is offering in their update.

How do I currently love my iphone? Let me count the ways:

  • custom icons, the compiled ilovenick theme

  • scrolling and sunburst!

  • yahtzee!

  • tetris

  • installer.app

  • my own ringtones

  • voice notes

  • instant messaging

  • to do list

  • sketches

  • wallpaper

  • rss reader

  • screen shots


There are several more things I would like tho. Whether they come from Apple or more hacks, I am not too picky.....

  • Wireless syncing

  • a games icon where I can condense all my games into one spot

  • landspace mode in more apps like textEdit and notes

  • video recording

  • download straight from browser

  • better instant messaging

  • no alert numbers on to do list icon

  • one touch phone silence, not ignore

  • copy and paste

  • voice dialing



Thats all for now. I may add more later :P
