remember the old days of cellphones

I’m in a bus yesterday and i heard a cellphone ring “to the left to the left” and i saw likke 5 people look on their hips and reached for pockets and so on and i thought to my self. wow. in this day and age where there are vibrating alerts on the cheapest handsets, where ringtones can be so unique as compared to days of old when everyphone and i mean everyphone just went “ring ring” “ring ring”‘.

It led me to think how the hell did anybody ever get someone when they needed them. cellphone in your pocket and ringing and you have absolutely no idea if your in a very noisy environment cuase it doesn’t vibrate. cellphone in your bag and ringing same thing. worse when you gotta have it on silent.

I remember at one point the only way you could have a vibrating phone is if you bought a vibrating battery. which lasted you not veery long because it uses a lot of power to vibrate so you’ld end up having to walk with your charger. God bless whoever first integrated the vibrating alert built in the sell phone. My first experience was the ALMIGHTY NOKIA 3310 (err eeh ahh ahh argh uh  :transformer reference (stellar movie btw) ). That was the dawn of a new age in jamaica if you ask me. Digicel came and lit the way to the damp, deep darkness that jamaicans wallowed in called a mobile telephony market.

Thanks for the light digicel.. but you still a bitch.. in other ways which i wont go on long about read that rant here.
