(Ummm......This is what my phone would look like if it had color. My parents own/use a Palm Treo 700. Just let that sink in.)
As you might have deduced, my phone lacks the camera phone feature. A fact that I am happy about, I never understood the need to have a camera on your phone. When I was visiting Japan, it made a little more sense. They have integrated all the features so that you take a picture of a bar code like image upload it on the Internet and get some real image back. For example, when we were in Coco Curry House you could take a picture of these squiggly lines, and somehow it uploaded an image of the menu with all the nutritional information on it. And I guess when V went to the Justin Timberlake concert, it was a way to sneak a camera into the stadium. But I have found very little use for one, until yesterday.
After talking with my mother on my fancy phone, I went to go hunt for dinner amongst the many take out joints in Coolidge Corner. As I was walking, I could not help but desperately wanting a camera phone to share with all of you what I saw:
- A very skinny medium height man, holding hands and then subsequently kissing a rather portly woman who was at the very least a head taller than him.
- A little person couple on what must have been a custom made little person tandem bicycle.
- A Porche Carrera with a bike rack on the back.
- A mother holding onto her baby in her arms as she walked. First, it was unusual to see a mother without a Baby Bjorn or HUGE baby carriage. Secondly, her baby was wearing a clear full on helmet and Bill Lambeer-esque face mask.
- Gr, the boy whom I met on the T when picking up numbers for the Run to Remember 3 weeks ago.
Alas, no pics to share. My contract with Verizon ended in March. Maybe I will consider buying a new phone. Probably not.
