I understand your motives, but the problem with your argument is that youre telling us what a mobile phine shouldn't be (no internet, no TCPIP even, and reading a bit between the lines perhaps no GPS or Wifi even). But to usefully describe a thing you need to say what it is and what it does, not what it doesn't do.

Yes, I suppose I left out the important part where I should turn around and state what I think the actual alternatives are, and if they don't exist, propose them :-)

I'm still getting my feet wet with this critical thinking exercise, especially where an exchange of ideas is required to hone my own! I'll have to come back to this one...
