Is This the Phone I Should Buy?

I’ve needed a new phone for some time now. I was thinking about something really cool like an iPhone, but a friend who’s more into techie stuff than I am has been singing the praises of this new Dutch multi-function phone. Have any of you had any experience, good or bad, with this unit? It looks quite promising to me, but what do I know about phones.

well, perhaps it has capabilities of value. But the iPhone truly is in a class by itself and justifies the hoopla around it. Having features available is one thing, making them truly useful is what Apple has achieved. The iPhone is the top of the heap at the moment and is poised to hold that position for some time. The simsing 3000 is not a contender in the same league. I would buy at the top if I were you.

Perfect for a cyclist! Why bother carrying both a pump and a phone! Plus, if you have tachycardia while you ride and need a quick defibrillation …

Here’s one I’m thinking about buying. I’m not sure if I’m hip enough for it, though.

I agree with KS. I hear it is rather uncomfortable to put the phone in your pocket after using the toaster or ironing options. Moreover, the thermometer only displays degrees celsius. I’m pretty sure that Apple would do a better job on this than the Dutch!

The self-destruct function clearly puts this new phone “a head off” the iPhone.
