Lightening not striking again for sometime

    A lot of people wonder of late if it is safe to buy or upgrade a cell phone or not. Even when you have the one you want there will always be another that is said to be better(just like what I went through with the droid incredible). I myself am guilty of the same thing. I have had so many phones is actually becoming second nature for someone to see with a new phone with 3 months. But today is a new day. For the first time I realized that we are at a junction road now. These junction road is kryptonite to us geeks and techheads. I call this junction; technology security. This is a road where ideas have finally gone past what we are compable of. For example, look at the ps3 vs xbox 360 vs ps2. All systems more powerful than each other but are barely making graphics that are truely more powerful than the other. All the ps3 did was put more speed and more memory into a different box and added a bluray lens. Xbox did the same but worse with more problems out of this new system, and so on and so forth. Well you are starting see this same tread in smartphones or maybe have been seeing. The phones now are up against so many other great phones like the blackberries, iphones, and android that all they can hope to do is come out with the same core functions but add memory or a useless hardware, try to put on a prettier screen and maybe knock off a second or two from the response time. But this is it. You are not going to see another great leap forward for at least a couple more years. We all really can benefit from this because you can go out and get a apple iphone, blackberry, or droid phone and you will and can kick back and save money and not waste it on senseless upgrades that really aren't that different from the orignal. Look at all the iphones, blackberries or android phones. Aren't all of them basically running the same OS for their respected groups? Only difference is in the areas mentioned above and those aren't really worth a new contract or a cancel.  We all have been slaves to this "over hype"of the latest thing that they say is incredible(:)) but in terms of real difference never amounts to a truly real difference. We need to find whatever phone works the best for us, get it and keep it for the duration of our contracts or longer and hope that there is something really considered a upgrade ready for us then. And most of all stop believing the hype up and go with what you see for yourself and with what works the why you need it to and be happy.
