Phones aren’t toys

PhoneBoy thinks phones are toys. I take my telecommunications devices very seriously. The world in my hands is a hefty title to give ones cell phone, but I honestly can’t imagine life without it.

Don’t know a word? Look it up.

Never heard of a location, artist, dish, band, etc? Look it up.

I have an entire 1991 Encyclopedia Britannica collection sitting on my library shelf. I have access to that exact same information in a device as small as the Nokia 6300.

I love the internet

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

    While I use the word “toy,” trust me, I take the use of my phone seriously.

    Remember that I’m giving my kids the *oldest* of the handsets I’ve got–handsets I would only use if I didn’t have any other handsets available. Handsets that, well, you can’t really make use of the Internet on. :)
