It&#8217;s not something I carry around even to functions where I&#8217;d need it. I&#8217;ve been thinking of getting a digital camera but I&#8217;ve been putting it off because I don&#8217;t care for cameras. The harsh reality is, however, cameras are useful even if I don&#8217;t like being on the flash-side of them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lens cover.<\/strong> My 6101 is all sticky and there&#8217;re probably a few layers of fingerprints on the lens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Infrared.<\/strong> I don&#8217;t know if there are phones that have only Bluetooth and not infrared, but I&#8217;ve just bought (and the trouble I had finding it!) an infrared adapter so I don&#8217;t want to make it useless so soon. It says in some places that the N73 package includes a datacable so maybe I don&#8217;t need the adapter &#8212; I&#8217;m happy as long as I don&#8217;t need to find+buy yet another connection device for my computer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Snakes!!!<\/strong> Is it true?! The interactive demo says Snakes is one of the games. Hurraah!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only minus (without any hands-on experience) is that it isn&#8217;t a fold phone.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m not telling you to go buy the phone because I don&#8217;t want to see one walk past me on the street too often. (That&#8217;s the biggest turn-off for 6101 &#8212; I see it everywhere!) I&#8217;m just desperately trying to justify to myself the stack of money I&#8217;m going to lose for it some day&#8230; <img src=\"https:\/\/www.all-things-me.net\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> I guess I can indulge for a change?
