Stephen Fry is a huge, huge mobile geek!

We’re big Stephen Fry fans here at SMS Text News. Especially when it comes to Blackadder. Or Absolute Power. Or the Harry Potter narrating. We even have our very own Mini-Fry in the form of Ben Harvey who writes our weekly Friday 3pm column.

So it was with some delight that I discovered The Big Man Himself is a huge unabashed mobile geek. You must take some time out to read his extremely thorough dissection of the (modern) mobile device.

My guess is that iPhone 3 is going to be closer to the Dynabook than anyone dreamed possible. It’s a small wait by anybody’s standards. Except mine. Except the standards of the impatient early adopter.
I might as well end with a wish list.
Someone to take the UIQ platform and give a bolt of lighting.
The Palm OS to receive ditto.
The iPhone to open and expand.
D’loadable ringtones? C’mon, Apple, you can do better than the sop you’ve thrown us with the latest iTunes release. You wouldn’t want to look greedy would you?

Thanks Martin for pointing the link out to me.

I think we’ll need to A) add Mr Fry to the SMS Text News weekly flowers list and B) try and see if we can get him to answer some uber-geeky questions like:

1. What was your first mobile handset
2. What is your current mobile handset — and why
3. Which network provider do you use? What’s your current device strategy?
4. Out of every handset you’ve owned, which has been your favourite?
5. What do you use your handset for? Calling/texting/data…?

I’ll see if he can be contacted.
