You guys are endearing…
I have handled a new iPhone and hey: it's not bad!.. But I reàlly love my sturdy BB Storm 2... Looks a lot better as well... Mind you: I do not use my phone for anything fancier than sending texts...
Oh: and no hate... I just hate anyone who jumps on the iPhoney bandwagon to be contemporary... Shit costs a ton and is not really made well (not to mention employees are working in abominable conditions)... I could make some denim-related comparisons but hey... I'll just have some more sourdesem bread with cheese...

Agreed El, and I have been through a few phones
Seul, it's always nice to be called endearing

Well…
I think the Iphone s now a statement, and the phone is nothing special at all and still made in China. Our denim
are not made in China as far as I know. My aim in life is to be honest and have honest things. So the denim
is honest ( I hope) the Jacket too ( Aero ) my bike remains japanese..
I stop now
Maybe a Blackberry will solve my mysery , thanks Seul.My people with an Iphone dont survive a day without a plug..!!
In these days where we still have thoughts about disaster, we should be more conscious°!
OK i going down to the cellar and shoot myself

For someone who travels alot the iPhone has been great. I can do anything I need to from anywhere. I have been able to scan work visa documentation and email it to a foreign office from a moving car. I can use the camera to read road signs in foreign languages. This thing is amazing.

what was your first mobile phone?
Mine was a panasonic GD90, i started carrying a mobile phone much later then my friends at the time.
It had a screen which could turn to orange, green and blue which was pretty cool
I thought it was a small phone then but it probably was big according to current standards. -
mvb…i had one of those too haha

I got my first phone in 1996, it was great. All it had was the standard numerical keypad and three speed dial buttons. Damn thing weighed a ton, wasn't able to fit it into my pockets of my jeans, so I had to stow it on my belt or in my bag. It also had a plastic flip thingy that covered up the keypad when not in use.
I've been through a lot of phone evolutions, thinking that the next big thing would change my life.
I remember when the first flip phone came out (Motorola Startac)
I remember the first color phone
I remember the first phone with a camera (with a whopping 0.3 MP camera)
Touchscreens were very anticlimactic for me
I have a love/hate relationship with the iPhone. I wasn't too impressed with the first one, and I think I felt the same way about the iPhone as I do with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't hate the team, I hate the fans
I'm waiting for the iPhone 5 to come out so I can get it for my personal phone. I hate that the Android phones don't get support after a year, and then their antiquated OS falls to the wayside, with only the newer phones getting the new Android OS. I have a Blackberry for work, and I loathe the damn thing

Got drunk and left it on the Staten Island Ferry one night, bummer. I got my first cell phone in a shop in the mall at the base of the World Trade Center in NYC.

(btw: the factories of Apple in China actually has quite good conditions, for chinese factories. I doubt that other manufacturers are better, or even close to it).
Was in the news here not too long ago, condemning the poor working conditions of the employees… Hey I'm not naive: BB's probs isn't much better... For me it's all about how it looks... Of course I do understand that some of you actually need the smart part of the phone... I, however, just need to figure out how to put that Texas poker game back on my Storm...

With the arcs I am totally with seul. I didn't like the IH arc when I fisr saw it and now I am actually little annoyed when I saw SE collab and it doesn't have one.
My first phone was one of those old brick phones. It could text as well
Then a motorola star tech which had a vibrating battery which seem amazing and now I typing this on my iPhone. How quick has things developed

Yeah, that news-segment went here too, about suicide rates and bad working conditions. The thing is, the suicide rate at the factory is actually lower than in the rest of chinese society and infact lower than in all 50 US states, the documentarist just heard a huge number (huge factories) and did not think to compensate for size or check his numbers, was a huge debate about documentarist ethics afterwards. Interesting topic imo, I think decent working conditions is hugely important, and I think that one should avoid products where one knows that factory workers have a decent day-to-day life. I don't think that apple's factories in china are paragons of work ethics either, just not quite as bad as people have made them out to be.
