Yeah, I would to but with all the paranoia about cell phones giving you head cancer because of the broadcast antenna, I think we would have to go back to bag phones and after the high tech phones you can drop into your pocket came out, you can pretty much say that not many will want a bag phone now unless you use it for business a lot!

Yeah, I know! Why is it so f....ing important to have a camera on your phone? The program eats batteries and takes up massive amounts of space!

Not really! The size is not as important to me as how far the technology has come! The Motorola "M" is very advanced for a car/bag phone. It's nice to know that the power of those features is there when you need them! A lot of people want all those cute features in the smaller phones, but how many will actually use them? None of those features will get you service 100 miles between mobile antenna towers!

I was wondering if anybody would bring up the head cancer thing.

You know, I'm totally convinced that if you yanks didn't have a bloody thing to be paranoid about, you would drive yourselves insane! I know not everyone feels paranoid about every bloody thing, but your media in this country sure pumps it up a bit.

Where did they ever get the idea that the populace wanted to know and worry about every little thing that could harm them and have it drilled into their heads 24/7/365?

Every electric appliance has 9.41% magnetic hysterisis loss eminating in the form of radio frquencies that are a lot more powerful than a cell phone!

There are mobile antennas available now that you can mount onto your trunk and not have to drill a hole into it!

Yeah! I decided to relocate mine to the center console because of the dash space thing!
