that’s bizarre, wonder how much tarantino got paid for that embarrassment?
Some nice looking phones, shame the software on most of them cant match the hardware. Also shame that they are on softbank.

yea forget about tarentino, check out all the new touch screens,the newspaper browsing thing isnt really that spectacular though, I check out WSJ on my iphone all the time. Man I’m excited though, give Japan and Korea 3 years and their cellphones will be ridiculous. I guess this is why google is buying out AdMob huh.
