    Nothing rhymes with it, and that makes it hard for a rapper like me to rap about it.

    "This is a phone that has shipped before it's finished."

    That review really was just as bad as everyone expected. I was waiting for the guy to say it blue screened on him.

    FWIW, I would never trust any 1st generation/iteration of Microsoft software. Remember Windows 95? NT 3? Ugg. I have a sinking feeling that this MS Smartphone has the same destiny...

    Besides... who wants some script kiddie hacking into their phone and delivering an Outlook virus? ;-)

    I can see it now...

    The smartest phone would be one that allows people to actually know how to drive while talking

    Sporange almost rhymes.

    Silver, purple, and month remain intractable problems for poets.

    But if you're rapping about cellphones, you have far more serious problems. Like an income.
