Particularly interesting is how the phones will scan all faces in the field of view, and indicate matches by an instant short message."

  1. Sprint PCS guy by mhesseltine · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm just waiting for the ads showing the PCS guy with one of these phones.

    PCSG:John, tell me what happened.

    John:Well, me and some buddies were out having a guys' night out. We had some drinks. Everything was going pretty good. Then this girl came up to us. She was really HOT!

    PCSG:John, did you go home with her?

    John:(Sheepishly) Yeah.

    PCSG:What happened next?

    John:I woke up in a bathtub full of ice, with a note that said I should call 911, and found out I was missing a kidney!

    PCSG:John, what you really need is this new PCS phone with face recognition technology. You could have identified her and let one of your buddies "jump on the grenade"
