8 Reasons Why My Phone Is Better Than Your iPod

1 - Just like your iPod, my phone plays my MP3's. Through the provided earphones, through my car stereo, or even through my Sennheiser earhones (with a small extra connector). It has exactly the same media player as the Walkman branded phones. It also has a RDS radio.

2 - Duh! Obviously my phone is also a phone. A 3G phone. In fact it could very possibly be the best phone on the market.

3 - My phone also a very handy 3.2 megapixel Cybershot camera. Perfect for nights when I know that there's beer on the menu and taking my usual digicam out is a risk.

4 - Four is a redundant point, but I'd like to use it to point out that my phone does three things. Your iPod does one. My pockets are FAR more comfortable than yours when I walk around.

5 - My phone has an expandable memory slot, which means that I can continue to expand my storage capacity for very little cost. If you wanted to do the same you'd have to buy a whole new iPod. You suck.

6 - One word. Bluetooth. I can update my playlists wirelessly. I can also use all manner of bluetooth accessories. You just wish you could.

7 - My phone is insured for free through my bank. Mainly because it's my phone, and also because my bank rocks. You can't say the same.

8 - In twelve months I'm going to get a new phone. It will cost me nothing. It will have an even better media player, and even better camera, and will be an even better phone. You'll either still have your old iPod, or you'll be forking over a couple a hundred spondoolies for a new one. Either way I'll be laughing at you.
