Who really cares when the operating system will be rock solid?

It's about time.

Lots of people would pay a grip for a good looking phone that has crap reception, not me, but lets be real. There are quite a few phones better then the RAZR, but what sells? RAZRs.

Hey muchdrama, you like Kid Robot? Are you on the message boards there? Just noticed your avatar is a Qee...

LOL. I'm not sure where I found the avatar, but I sure liked it enough to give it a try. "Kid Robot"?

As for this particular phone, I think it's about time developers stopped tip-toeing around Linux. I've seen buggy RAZRs give a girlfriend enough problems to warrant Cingular giving her 4 replacements.

Oh yeah, Linux is hot, just thinking about people like me who would be embarrased to pull this out.
"Kid Robot" is a website that sells "urban vinyl", basically toys designed by artists for adults, including the one in your avatar. That's called a "qee", I believe the artist on yours is "Dalek"...

Sweet! And speaking of "Daleks", I LOVE Dr. Who.

I think this makes me a giant dork.

And I'd rather pull out a cool phone that runs Linux over a "me too" RAZR.

Linux phones have been around for years. Motorola launched the A760 4 years ago. Ming A1200 from Moto is pretty hot now.

Just pray so nothing happens to the phone because it does not have any warranty in the U.S.............. 😡

Why the 😡 face?

I'm careful with my phone and I baby it. I also bought it with the full realization/understanding that I won't get any support in regards to it from my service provider, I'm not one of those obnoxious customers who feels like I'm owed everything. 🙂

It's under warranty, I'd just have to ship it half an ocean away from where I live.

Or what you could do is buy an Insurance policy for it that will cost you less than half of what you paid for the "MING" it has no deductible and you get a brand new phone.

Hmm... thanks for the suggestion! Where would I go to get an insurance policy for my phone? It was only $440, after all.

You could go to wirelesstoyz.com and find a store near you that could do it. What state are you in?

It's actually not too bad.

It looks odd, true, but I don't dislike it at all. Plus, it runs a rock-solid OS. Finally a phone who doesen't run Winblows Mobile.

If this phone is green, why not make it to glow in the dark???? 🤣

oddly enough i think this is the new trend.

i cant tell you how many nokia's are ugly but ar the top performers and offer so much features.

not only are phones getting uglier but they have that retro-ugly behing them. this phone remindes me of nick at nite black and white tv.
