I’m a cellphone-freak, no doubt about it.


I’m a cellphone-freak, no doubt about it but I’m also a travelling businessman, and I’m using phones a lot. I can buy 5-6 cellphones a year and still want one or two more. I’ve had them in all sizes and for all purposes. Emailing and instant messaging is a very crucial part of the whole thing. The second thing is managing the information flow. Usually that takes two cellphones, whereas the one is purely for calling, and the other one is dedicated for emailing and calendar-issues.

I really hate that even though we’ve been mobile for the past decade or so in terms of text messaging, we are still lacking a proper business-tool that would be reliable and intuitive enough.

(As a comment made later 2009: It's funny to see people carrying their Blackberrys and iPhones at the same time. The other is for corporate emails and stuff obviously, and then the other is for your, eh, life..the phone you want to use the most. Apple is dying to get into the corporate action with the VPNs and Mail for Exchange that they already have, etc., but personally I think they still have to integrate a proper keyboard for the iPhone. Then, and only then it's set to fly high. So Steve, couldn't you have another version perhaps with a physical keyboard as well?)
