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.
That Samsung phone looks sweet, take heed Japanese keitai makers, take your heads out of you insular market and see what the rest of the world is doing with technology.

It’s the crappy software in Japanese phones that annoys me.

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.

Tarentino is a talented director but a crappy actor. I’m sure he will spoil what has been a rather amusing campaign.
