The WP7 ad actually made me think twice about where we as humans should be going.. I love my desire and find myself in a lot of those situations, but is that what we want?

Also, it ended by saying "this is what happens when you use other phones, you get hooked. But with WP7 you won't, because it's not as engaging..."

Why on earth would you ever create a phone with "no apps", long battery life, small simple design, no touchscreen, etc... with WP7? What a waste of hardware and processing power.

Nokia sells basic phones like that for well under $100 already.

I worry there are too many learning curves inherent in touch screen devices for the over-30-and-hate-phones crowd

So suddenly, over 30 is now ancient?

Might want to reevaluate your census of technology adaptation there, author.
