I don't have a cell phone. While I think they're on of the most annoying and intrusive devices ever conceived of much less brought to production, the draconian contract system of the carriers is absolutely ridiculous.

If all the contract BS was wiped aside, yeah, I might get one. But it's totally silly as is. Cell phones used to be for business, which is where all of these stupid terms and conditions and micro billing sprouted from. When they moved to the mass market, idiots signed on board despite being screwed at every turn.

In Ontario (Canada) where I'm from, I looked into cell phones with data plans. I thought my internet tablet would be the cats *** if I could tether it to a phone and be online during my cumulative 2 hour long commute. They want like $30 a month for *2MB*. *$30*. I could load the cnn.com home page 6 times a month. Whoop dee doo.
