Because like all things, people love options. Consumerism would fail if everything was generic.

- Toenex 11y agoSurely I'd have more options if I could use any handset? I'm a computer literate guy but I still end up carrying 2 handsets - one work, one personal - most of the time because the handsets aren't truly generic.
- AndrewDucker 11y agoWhat do you mean generic? People like different screen sizes, are willing to pay different amounts for different amounts of storage, processor speeds, etc.
- Toenex 11y agoI mean pick up my wife's phone, log in and now it's mine.
- AndrewDucker 11y agoAaah, Android can do a lot of that. The latest versions support multiple user logins, so you can share a phone other than the (which you'd have to swap).
- notahacker 11y agoDon't you think the people that make the hardware and sell the contracts with shiny new phone bundled to justify the price would much rather you had 2 handsets? If you were really determined to have an instantly portable number and contact list then there are VOIP apps which are accessible on most phones...
