Nokia Shows Off Phone with Printable Faceplate
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.
Lololololol!
Dear Madam,
:(fredkyari@spinfinder.com) .
Compliment of the day, I am FREDDY KYARI, The son of late General Kubwa
Kyari of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
My father was a General in the Congolese Army. In his position (My father)with
the office of the presidency during the regime of Laurent Kabila,he was
assigned on a secret mission to source and acquire arms
internationally in order to strengthen the Government forces against the
rebels, which already had the support of Rwandan and Uganda Army.
Meanwhile, he was still negotiating for the purchase of the arms, he
received on the 16th January 2001 news of the assassination of Laurent
Kabila which force him to call off the assignment and deposite this money
Packed in a diplomatic case in a private finance company in holland, the
Netherlands, though he registered the content as precious stones the real
content is (US9.5M) meant for the purchase of arms for the Congolese Army.
My father went home for the funeral of the late president, but on his
arrival he was arrested, detained and tortured, unfortunately my father
sufferred cardiac arrest and died on the 17th of March 2001.
However,one of our numerous visits I and my mother paid him while in prison,
my father revealled this secret to me and advice that i should proceed to
the Netherlands to claim the money, he handed me all the relevant documents
that will enable me claim the box from the finance company,such as (CERTIFICATE
OF DEPOSIT)the telephone number and the fax number.
On our arrival in the Netherlands few months ago, we sought for political
asylum; which was granted.I and My mother are making frantic effort on the
best way to handle this money. We sought advice from an attorney who advised
that we must seek for a trustworthy foreign business partner whom can invest
this fund in a profitable venture. This we view as the best option because
our refugee status does not permit us to operate a bank account, hence we
seek your assistance and hope you could be trusted.
Meanwhile, I sincerely ask you to assist us to get this money through your
account, Your share for assisting us will be $2m of the total sum, $500.000.00
will be set aside for the expenses we might incurred in the course of
concluding this venture such as telephone bills,travelling expenses and
the remaining $7m will be for me and my family. Also you stand to gain
from any investment you might introduce us into after the conclusion of
the transfer.
Please keep this confidential until we finalize and get this money into
your account for security reasons.
Please forward your response to this e-mail address
Thanks and GOD bless
MR, FREDDY KYARI
Is this too much to ask for? A decent entry-level PDA can be had for around $100. If a phone's $100, then where are all the $200 PDA phone combos?
I want the Samsung SPH-i500 - but it's $600! This is crazy - who spends $600 on a phone?
It's the same way that I'd like a new $300 notebook. At that price it would be close to disposable and I wouldn't worry too much about breaking it. I don't even want a color screen - but nobody makes low spec notebooks because $800 is the lowest anyone is willing to sell them for these days (and they're full color with 2 GHz processors).
...cell phones drive you!
