Hey everyone, let’s give it up for JunkJugget, it took him 3 paragraphs, but he finally got to the punch line; me being ugly.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought we were entitled to our own opinion (at least in America). Especially my self who actually owns close to a dozen smart phones totaling about $7k, I’d have to say I at least know a little about this topic.
To respond to your post:
The device, to me, is aesthetically unappealing. It looks like it wants to be a Smartphone, but does not want to be compared to one. Sort of like me dressing up like a cop, waiting for a crime to be committed, then getting mad at the victim for running up to me.
Well, in detail, based on the currently released specs the device is fairly thick, and based on a recent Engadget article the US version will be .5” thicker? WTF!!! lol. And I guess a 3” display is ok, being that it DOESN’T really have a full featured web browser, so who cares, right….
When you look at the Samsung Omnia, or the iPhone 3G the device mentioned above can be seen as a total waste of money. Oops I can’t compare the two, it’s not a smart phone, I forgot. Well compared to Moto RZR this device is great!! Only because the RZR does not have a mirror-like reflective display. lol I’d prefer to use the forward facing camera on the Omnia anyway.
