I'm not exactly sure what I've learned from this. The title of his video doesn't exactly match what he's talking about. At the end... I'm still wondering "Why does a cell phone look like it does?"

Thank you for the video though!

(And I have to add... I remember getting the RAZR back when it was a hot thing. I actually got insurance on it because it was, quite literally, the nicest and most expensive thing I owned.)
