Includes a built-in camera and various comments about this not coming to North America anytime soon.

Oh, you said "Symbian"!

As I skimmed the headline, I first thought it said "sybian". My next thought was, " Great -- I'll by my wife one of these."

Next, I re-read and thought it said "simian", and I thought, "whoah -- a phone for my spider monkey!"

Damn, what a boring phone...

Ohhhhh, taste the irony!

The phrase "American Standard" used in a discussion aboout GSM Mobile Phones! Aha!

I heard a rumour that you don't actually *have* to buy these new internet devices - there's a recent law passed that means you can just spend your own money on what you want.

Surely your refrigerator ordering food for you does make your life easier - not that geeks need food - *real* geeks live off of nicotine and caffeine ;-)!!

Includes a built-in camera?

How the hell am I supposed to lie to my wife about my whereabouts now?

It was bad enough having to do 'busy office', 'stuck in traffic' and 'on the train' sound effects - and now this!

When American Standard releases a new toilet, are we gonna hear about it here first?

Probably not. I submitted this [americanstandard-us.com] way back in April, but it was rejected.

ICQ?

It looks like ICQ on the mobile phone is closer than ever!

Great! Now I can use my mobile phone to get in touch with people!

Uh...

but to be at the bar with a pint when i get a support call or my whinging boss telling me that something has stopped running or needs to be brought up, and just simply open the phone, telnet in on a qwerty keyboard, run a quick nohup job, shut the phone.. "yeah, it's fixed now", RULES.

nah, saying 'I only have a Motorola Timeport, so I'm staying here and getting drunk - suck my cheesy boner' RULES...

ICQ on mobile phones?

[bribecka]

Wow, I really can't wait to have the newest beta of ICQ on my phone? Maybe they should wait until there is actually an official version...in say, 5-10 years?
