Why Linux is Better Than Mobile Phones

So, my past obsession was with mobile phones. My current obsession (if you haven't noticed) is with Linux distros. Here's why a Linux obsession is better than a mobile phone obsession:

1. Cheaper - The Linux distros I play with are all free. The only cost I incur are the cost of media and bandwidth. Mobile phones on the other hand are quite expensive.
2. More Productive - I may use my mobiles for phone calls, web surfing, emailing, texting, contacts and calendaring (oh, ok and some gaming). But, I use my Linux boxes for VoIP calling, contacts, calendaring, gaming, surfing, emailing, texting, programming, writing, working, learning, and so much more.
3. Resume - What I learn with Linux will eventually boil down to something that I can use at work and use on my resume.  Not really so with my mobile phones.
4. More - There are lots of mobiles, yes. But, there are a helluvalot more distros than mobiles to play with. Distrowatch lists not hundreds of distros, but thousands of them. Yay! I've only played with a few when looked at in that perspective.

1. Sex Appeal - Whip out a sleek mobile phone and it is possible to hear something like, "Wow, is that the new Motorola SLVR with iTunes?" But, this I can't ever imagine this: "Wow, is that the new version of CentOS?" when I pull out my notebook.
2. Mass Appeal - "Whoa, cool a 3 megapixel camera and MP3 player in your phone?" = Possible. "Holy crap! Linux kernel 2.6.18 stable?" = Not possible.
