    Annoying that the second video is slightly ruined by the still on the "I haven't started loading it" screen though...

    Saw that phone for 10 pounds the other day, on prepay. Good to see Motorola is hitting Nokia where it hurts.

    Fantastic video. Viral campaigning is always so much better than mainstream stuff in the press/TV.

    I recently lost a phone traveling and had get a replacement - I was in a hurry and grabbed a cheaper Nokia with bugger all features. I'd not swap it back now for the more smick versions - the battery lasts me three or four days (and is in constant use) and it is incredibly simple to use with fewer menus and sub-menus than any phone I've had in years.

    That said, I still think I'll get a iPhone when they become available in Aust.

  • Ben Austin,

    Ugh, without 3G capability or reasonably good wifi hotspot coverage where you live I'd not touch an iphone. I've found 3G speeds painfully slow*, even on a phone with limited smart capabilities, I'd hate to see what it would be like to use a proper smart phone on something slower than 3G.


    *That being said, I'd not give up my gmail/google maps java apps without a fight!

  • InternationalObserver,

    The whole industry is advanced through making people take unbearably grainy photos in inappropriate situations, download annoying ringtones in ever more annoying quality, etc.. What on earth would they do if people just wanted a phone that, you know, made calls?

    Yup. Kids these days. In my day Mum wouldn't even let us use the landline. Now my 5 y.o. daughter gets rung up after school by her friend from school on my mobile!!

    I like those Dove ads - and the pisstake is a good one. If you're making billions from beauty products, at least be honest about it. Wonderful. Or am I wearing rosetinted glasses on this one?

    Of course, your daughter probably complains to her friends: "when I get calls after school, I have to take them on *my parents'* cellphone."

  • Deborah,

    My cell phone talks and texts. That's it.

    But it's enough. I just got a txt from my husband.

    "Arrived in Mlb. Bag didnt."

  • Deborah,

    No.... just that useful word, "Bugger".

    I also kindly and lovingly suggested that he should get to DJs first thing in the morning.
