Would it? If they SMSed it to me, why can't I SMS it back to them to claim it? Better yet, why can't I send it to the cash register over bluetooth. The hardware on Starbuck's side isn't going to be more expensive then what they'd need to prevent paper coupons from being copied. Furthermore, I'm not going to have to replace little rolls of paper in my phone all the time.

This is a better one, but I'm not sold. You paper isn't going to be any bigger or higher res then your screen. In fact, versus newer color phones it will probably be lower fidelity, and you can zoom around the map. It sounds like the problem is that your phone is shutting off. You should be able to tell it not to. (My last Ericson had this annoying habit of automatically returning to the main menu if you left it in the phone directory for too long. Too long being about 30 seconds, so if you're in the car and trying to look up a phone number it was basically useless. I've gotten a Nokia again.) Bad UI is not an excuse to create more bad UI.
