That's not the same thing. There's also nothing worse than being on a long journey wanting to listen to music but needing to also charge your phone before you reach your destination.
it's always something.
Listen man, if the phone doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, IR Blaster, FM radio receiver, pop out rotating 6mp camera, micro SD slots, 2g compatibility, Native flash support and a physical keyboard that pops out like the fucking matrix, then it's a complete piece of corporate shit and you're a complete neo liberal bum bandit if you think otherwise...
Okay but I sure miss having a phone with an IR blaster. Was quite fun to sit in the corner of an empty restaurant and change the channel on the TVs that show the menu back when I was a drunk gremlin
