Nokia Shows Off Phone with Printable Faceplate

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the designer-keypads dept.

jonknee writes "Nokia is prepping a new phone that one-ups all the other attempts at face plates... you can print your own! Just place one of the template pages it comes with (you can buy more) into your ink jet, and make a nifty design that isn't mass marketed at every mall this side of the Mississippi. The template is perforated so you can get a nice fit around the keys. The phone looks pretty nifty as well: camera, flashlight, FM radio and about everything else." It might be fun to rename someone's keys as a practical joke, not that I've ever done it to anyone's computer keyboard.

    "This seems to be a modern treatment of the author's traditional revenge theme laid out in previous books, to bring it into line with the realities of the new century. For example, many telephone revenge stunts are no longer possible because of Caller ID. The author explains, however, methods of getting around Caller ID, and how to use the Internet for revenge. Many other revenge techniques just need a little tweaking to make them work today. Overall, This is both an entertaining and instructive book." - Amazon

      It's speech, not speach. And Amazon's TOS might have something to say about it.

      I don't see how this is spamming. The blurbs are on topic, and the sources are sighted. Lots of people post blurbs and don't sight their sources, and you don't get after them. The only other thing I'm doing is linking a to Amazon. What's the big deal? People obviously find if convenient and useful.

      Besides, I could have easily hidden that these links were to Amazon by using a redirect. So quit whining. It's pitiful.

  5. Sad news... John Ritter dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Actor John Ritter was found dead in his LA home this morning. Apparently, he was in the garage and fell off a ladder trying to get out his old Jack Tripper outfits to reinact the Three's Company scene where his balls fell out of his shorts. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
