Do Asians really laugh at our iPhone fetish or the lack of cell phone features we have? After I wrote “10 Cool Asian Cell Phones You Can’t Have – Yet” for Technewsdaily.com, Asian cell phones seemed so futuristic compared to my iPhone.

The cells phones are your personal butler and will cater to your needs. Cell phone providers actually investigate dropped calls to make the service better. The mobile devices can read barcodes or send owned money to a friend with just their phone number. You can watch TV on the phone. And it can tell you if you’ve had a heart attack. Or it can turn on the heat in your apartment as soon as you get off the subway, so it’s nice and cozy by the time you get back.

And a 15-year-old cell phone user wrote a bestseller on her phone! Japan sets the cell phone trend for the rest of Asia and eventually the whole world — cell phone cameras debuted there. But just because their phones have more functions, it does not mean their phones are better.

Just a heads up for this cupid-filled weekend: Try not to let your cell phone get in the way of love.
