I was checking out my phone yesterday to see if I had missed any major applications which would change my life. Of course I hadn't but I did find the SMS template folder. Now I'm sure lots of other people have already thought this but it really struck me what those templates say about how we use our phones and the world that we live in with them.
The majority of templates were about being in a meeting, being somewhere and not being able to call, being somewhere else than you should be or just not being contactable. So the phone is serving as a person to person tracing device. You can track where someone is, where they should be and why they aren't why they are where where should be. A bit like the UPL parcel tracking system except only on a person to person basis.
The only other really interesting templates were I love you too and Happy birthday. I particularly love the "too" on the first template. So whoever designed these templates didn't think that someone would want a template that would allow them to quickly tell someone they loved them, no what they would want would be a template to reply - possibly to an unsolicited text. A quick and easy way of keeping your lover happy providing by Nokia. And the thing is you can't know that it was provided by Nokia and not by your lover.
