    Given the nature of this thread I thought it was obvious that the ransom was written on toilet paper.

She is liking it more and more, as she admits that the OS is more robust than the iP5, but not as "customized" as the android phone. 


     


    At any rate, I can not detect a difference when she would call from a iP5 or win/Nokia 920 or my Sammy G2. I guess when they say phone, they mean a phone.



     


    Customised?


     


    What changing the colours of the squares on the home screen from Blue to Teal, having a light or dark background?


     


    Windows mobile customisation 101, you're done.


     


    Has your S2 done the battery flatten, overheat and total refusal to charge or turn on, yet?


     


    Samsung is still looking into the cause of this baffling predicament randomly affecting S2 users, a lot of them if you care to search.

    Your are basically correct on the win phone customization. On the Skyrocket, it doesn't hold a charge as long as it did 2 years ago, but no hiccups. But I can go to Batteries Plus to get a replacement. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the cover off my daughter's old iP4 to replace the battery and trade it on ebay for some catfish chum.

    That was when England owned it. Same with Africa.
    Since they insisted on their independence they have both gone down hill and luxuries have gone.

    I'm with Apple II on this one.

    About four billion people don't use toilet paper. About 70% - 75 % of the world’s population does not use toilet paper.

    That is irrelevant.

    Regardless of technical correctness of statement, it is not always acceptable to bluntly present it publicly. People use different terms to describe that, but I would stop at good old manners. If you meet person who has lost his legs, you will not address him as "cripple". If you meet person of African origins whose forefathers were brought to US from region nowadays known as Nigeria, you will not call him "Nigger" or "Negro". If you meet mentally challenged person, you will not call that person "retard". One might argue that those statements are technically true, but regardless of that, stating such will only make one insensitive douchebag whose parents failed to teach him/her some manners.

    Beside that. Nokia feature phones are still available here in New Zealand and Australia, and I would expect that this new 501 will also be available here as well as in mostly every part of the world. Granted it will be attractive more in countries with lower average income, but among those countries are also many East European countries as well, for example, and much as I have travelled through Czech Republic, Hungary, Serbia... let me reassure you that they are all well acquainted with concept of toilet paper. However, in some of the most advanced countries there is great availability of toilet seats with sophisticated washing and drying systems that really make toilet paper obsolete.

    In short, OP's generalization only makes him sound like sociopathic supremacist douche who is trying to throw feeble-minded insult in general direction of everyone who might be interested in buying such phone; one of those "Only a moron would buy THAT product", but much more mean...

    Either that or pointing out that the market is for those who can't spend on luxuries but can spend on necessities.

    During the Great Depression my great grandparents forewent toilet paper in favour of newspaper.

    The world is the way it is.

    I wonder what Steve Jobs used, a book on Zen Bhuddism I read once recommended buying the cheapest toilet paper possible, as anything more is a waste.

    Speaking of toilet paper, those of us who bought some Nokia stock can certainly afford some as it is up 6% today.

    I love these ads, this device. Perfect for markets where people aspire to a new edgy device, where they don't have as much money as in the west but want to identify with doing well and still having a quality product. I find Nokia's Asha line truly inspiring work. Good job!
