[Spridgets] Megapixels digital cameras, phones and NO LBC

I find that camera phones are neither good phones nor good cameras.
My Canon A590 takes very good pics for the price, IMHO.
My phone is a Nokia but has no built in camera.
I'd get a basic Nokia phone, mine was a $29 GoPhone.  I gave the
GoPhone sim and minutes to my son and installed my AT&T sim.
I can take/make calls in places where my friends with the latest
IPhones have no service.  I can't surf the web, but I find surfing on
a phone
to be silly, as you can hardly read or see anything on such a small
screen.  If you wanna surf get an IPad or NetBook, IMHO.
My son uses his MP3 player constantly.  He has a $40 Sansa that works very well.

I'd spend $200 on a camera, $40 on a GoPhone, and $40 on an MP3 player
before I'd spend $300 on a camera/MP3/phone combo.

My wisdom is three gadgets for three jobs.  One advantage is that if
you lose or break one then you still have the other two.
One disadvantage is that you have three things to keep up with and
carry, instead of one.

But, hey, I'm the guy who belligerently defiles Pozidriv screws with
the incorrect tools.
