OT but still techy: Stupid Cell Phone Features

I went to buy a new cell phone.

I asked the ~phone guy~, "I would gladly pay $100.00 extra for a phone
where I can enter my monthly minute allowance (350 daytime Mon to
Fri.) and see a minutes used countdown on the display.."

There was about 15 phones on display..
"I'm sorry sir...there are no phones with that feature.."

Fkn!! ..fkn!! @$@#@....10 zillion nearly useless features on these
phones but a "save you money" feature.. Unbelievable..
Fk the camera
Fk the bluetooth
fk the mp3 player
piss on the phone cell browser
piss on the fancy ringtones

I WANT MY "SAVE YOU MONEY" MINUTE TRACKING FEATURE.

Those sneaky cell phone providers..

What can I do?? :(
