Middle America’s crappy handset problem won’t be going away any time soon. There’s just too many people walking about with rubbish handsets on 2, or even 3 year contracts. It’s terminally depressing, it really is.
The above picture is a super example — I found it in tonight’s London Evening Standard.
You’re right next to Hilary Clinton, you want to take a picture, so out comes your rubbish, rubbish 2004 handset to take a 50×50 pixel image… oh dear. OH dear me. Still, at least Americans *are* taking pictures and hopefully *sending* pictures…
Part of the problem is that nobody wants to pay for a decent handset in middle America. Everyone wants the “free with a 2 year ball and chain” handset that, as we all know, isn’t free.

At first I thought that the problem you were referring to was having that picture on your phone – scary!
