        Maybe Norm should have phrased it better.  This is how I would said this, a lot of money for an old technology phone.  I’d pass.

        Haha. Yeah some people just blurt stuff out. Well said however I wouldn’t consider it “old” technology just yet. I mean the specs are still kind of current. I think the VAST majority of smartphone users are still on 1ghz or less procs.

        But what does urk me is the the price of unlocked smartphones are still kind of expensive. I think they all need a 100$ price cut across the board. IMHO.

        Agree with VersedNJ. Maybe Norm is just a 12 year old boy who still learning how to speak properly.  This phone looks good but it took them so long to released it to the market.  A dual core 1 GHz would have done made it look good….

    This are way too expensive.  Do you really want a very crisp image with that small of a screen?

      I agree, except for those of us who’s first consideration on getting a phone these days is the camera.  Not the engine that runs that phone, nor the screen it uses.

        Really? Your first consideration in a smartphone is the camera? Over the functionally, speed, storage, apps, call quality, battery life, etc? I can’t imagine there are enough people who’s first priority with smartphones is the camera to fill an elevator. What’s your first consideration when buying a new car? The stereo?

        Try reading the post again – they didn’t say smartphone, they said phone.

        If you want a phone with a halfway decent camera you have to go for a smartphone, whether you want the smartphone functionality or not.

    ASIANS CAN ACTUALLY READ MINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
    they can hear and see what your visually thinking
    this is the complete truth

    the reason alot of asians have completely expressionless faces, only associate with asians and dont associate with non asians very much is to avoid accidentally revealing that they can read read minds, if all over a billion asians were to show facial expressions all the time just as much as non asians, associate with non asians much more, and be much more friendly and talkative, then alot of them might accidentally reveal that they can read minds by accidentally showing a facial expression or dirty look when someone thinks, or visually pictures something in their mind they dont like or find astonishing or funny, and if they were all to associate with non asians alot more there would be alot more people around for them to accidentally show facial expressions when those other people think things they dont like, so they only associate with asians so there wont be anyone around for them to see that and have any accidents happen in the first place

    think about it, its not normal how alot of them act, and the entire way they act is all to hide their mind reading abilities, it makes perfect sense to do all of that to hide that they can read minds, because all of that is the perfect way to do it!
    every single asian on the planet is hiding their mind reading abilities, they will lie about having mind reading abilities forever!
    because they value hiding their mind reading abilities more then their own lives!
    thats why nobody knows about it!

    try thinking, best yet visually picturing in your mind something something absolutely crazy as you possibly can when you are around asians, and try looking for asians who give people particular looks, especially dirty looks for what appears to be for completely no reason, that is them giving people looks when they hear and visually see someone thinking something they dont like, find funny or astonishing
    it still happens despite a large number of them having completely expressionless faces all the time, it would just happen alot more if none of them had completely expressionless faces all the time, its not uncommon!

    i know this sounds crazy, impossible, and completely unbelievable, BUT IT ISNT CRAZY WHEN ITS TRUE

    the reason you think this truly is crazy, impossible and unbelieveable is because our society has propagandized people into believing that nothing extra ordinary is real and that is really is impossible, and that its crazy to think that its true that people can read minds, all just to cover up that asians can read minds! who says that cant exist? the people who have mind reading abilities who are trying to cover it up!

    you have to spread the message!!!!
    the world has to know about this!!!!!
