Phone can't work in water!

I don't care how many chips, ICs or transistors are inside the phone, and if the circuit breaks when I immerse them into water. They invest so much on stupid things like improving a phone's look, but nobody thinks about a major limitation that you can't swim with your phone, or can't even use it in the shower. Yes, I know you can do that, but it just never WORKS after that! That is soooo DUMB!!

Ideal picture: I take my phone to the shower and can take calls while I'm shampooing. I take it to the pool and dive with my phone in my trunk pockets. I take it to the beach, and sometimes even play catch with it! Isn't that cool?

Phone is a thing!

Why does phone have to be a thing? Why does a phone have to be a separate thing? Why does it have to look exactly like a phone? Why can't it look like a ball? Why can't it look like watch? Why does it even have to be visible?

Ideal picture: I don't have a phone. What is a "phone" anyway?? I just have a ball, which I play with, but I can also use it to make calls, check my email, check Facebook and all that... Phone isn't a thing. It is just a logical concept, a set of functions, which are platform independent, and can be embedded into anything I want. Even my palm!

Cellphones always need a network signal!?

For whatever reason they can't have a good network everywhere! Although that is also a problem, but a different issue. And bad networks in remote areas is also a different issue. But the major chunk of problems seem to be in developed urban areas. New York City for example - people face bad cellular networks even at there homes. And you rarely find a home without Wi-Fi. And by now, you probably know what I'm getting to... Yes Wi-Fi! Use the f***ing bandwidth to switch over to VoIP when the network is bad. And chances are that it might be a better alternative than using the carrier signal.

Ideal Situation: Like my iPhone switches over from 3G to Wi-Fi for Internet connectivity when I'm near a known Wi-Fi hot-spot, in the same way it switches over to act like a Magic Jack, or Google Voice, to use the Internet to keep me connected to the network. So now at my home however bad the cellphone signal is, I can still make/take calls without any problems!
