Last night I was wandering through a local mall when I happened upon a BestBuy Mobile store. Seeing several phones on display I dragged my lovely and talented wife into the store to check them out. Because she's fond of me, she protested very little.
I focused on the Samsung phones for obvious reasons. Their screens certainly have extremely saturated colors. With TouchWiz, they look too cartoonish though. I was duped by one which had the crappy sticker on instead of a working display, so close were the Wiz phones to cartoons.
I care not, for I am interested in a Galaxy Nexus which has no such abomination!
I then sauntered over the a Nexus S to see what the big fuss with the curved screen was all about. I had to peer down it's long axis to even see the curve. If the GNex has a similar curve, it's a non-issue, non-feature. I couldn't see the point.
The poor automaton working there greeted me at this point and asked if I needed help. Remembering chicks dig tech nerds, I turned to her and said something designed to impress:
"I'm just checking out the Samsung phones because I'm considering a Galaxy Nexus!"
Her stunned silence and vacant stare could only have been caused by one of three possibilities:
- She was enamored with my long locks and was rendered speechless.
- She was overwhelmed by my technical foresight and yearned for me so deeply she was struck dumb.
- She hated her job, was sick of geeks and felt slightly nauseous.
My wife felt it was #3 but I know better!
