Paging Tina Fey
The iPhone lets the user set a wallpaper. This wallpaper image shows up during two common occurrences. The first is when you unlock the phone. The second is when someone calls and are not in the phone's contact list. On my phone, nearly all of my contacts have pictures. If my mom calls, I see a picture of my mom. If a friend calls, I see their picture. So, what's the problem, you ask? Simply this:
Much to my chagrin, Tina Fey is not on my contact list. She's my current wallpaper image. Thus, whenever a strange number calls me, I see a picture of Ms. Fey pop up on my screen and, for a split second, I actually think that she's calling me. The next moment, the bottom drops out, I realize that it's just my wallpaper image, and I begrudgingly pick up the phone. This is one little feature that drives me nuts about the iPhone. I want a background image that I can enjoy, but I also don't want to be tricked into thinking a celebrity is calling me every time an unknown number calls me. Such a quandary!
