Fritz: Here you go, Bixby! I got you a new cell phone! Bixby: It's too fancy. Fritz: It's stylish! It's state-of-the-art and the height of fashion! Bixby: It's too wimpy! Fritz: It'll make you look like a real player in this town! Bixby: It's too tiny! Fritz: You'll be able to throw it farther. Bixby: It's too light to hurt anyone...
Bixby has more of a clue than Fritz in this case. Who cares about state of the art. When it comes to a cellphone the ONLY thing that matters is if it can make phone calls. All the rest is just frosting on the cake, and far too often, especially with the vast majority of cellphones out there today it’s about the same amount of frosting as you’ll get on most cakes out of most supermarket bakeries. Which is like a quarter to half an inch thick.
