Nothing is Here to Stay

This will probably be a pretty short post and it is totally spur of the moment but I am writing this on the frustrating state of the mobile cell market as reported by tech blogs. Last year I was tired of the phone I had. It was not even a feature phone, it was as much of a dumb phone as you could have. I began researching new phones to upgrade to. Now at this point I am an avid listener and reader of a few tech blogs and I would check them for new info on the newest phones to come out. If you have ever read a tech blog lately you would know that about half of the information coming out today revolves around cellphones. I found this freaking awesome, I could look at all the cool new phones coming out and find out which ones were the best.

Looking back I realize that I was dumb for not heeding the obvious warnings then but I bit and totally dived into the news being generated online. Every other week a new phone would be announced by HTC or Sony or Sprint would get this new phone and Verizon would say no to rumors on that phone. It was awesome. Anyways I dont know why I did not foresee how these blogs sold their information. They really did say every week that this phone and that phone were the best and were light years ahead of others. But the next week it would be something different. Then the next, then the next...etc. Well I bought the Droid last year and though I was pretty hot shit for about three weeks before I started hearing from these tech blogs that there was something else new to destroy the Droid. They now began to see it lacking compared to New phone A and especially to new phone B.

I guess I am writing to vent on how it can be really frustrating when the tech you love so much outpaces you in development and leaves you in the dust. It especially sucks when the cell carriers loop you into a two year contract and make it so these new phones are way to expensive to buy without their... okay the word is totally gone(where a product is sold at a cheaper price because you are paying through a contract plan). The way phones are sold and packaged needs to change as does the way that tech blogs advertise their news.
