Phones are just an expansion of our digital lifestyle.
The N95 will never replicate the physical sensation of sitting in front of a 30 inch LCD.
The E90, as powerful as it may be, will not let me browse the internet in the same fashion I’m accustomed to on my ThinkPad.
The N95 and E90 are devices that can complete me however. They are great for when I’m not in front of a computer, they are even capable of creating user experiences that a laptop or desktop can only dream about, but they are not replacements for what we as humans have been calling computers since the 80′s.
I think Ricky’s experiment is a horrible idea, but I’ll wish him the best of luck any how.
Take away my SIM card and you’ll take away the main reason I purchased a smart phone: knowledge anywhere, anytime, about anything. Devices aren’t about what they can do anymore, they’re about the connections they can create.

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.
