Honestly, I was just thinking, "yea, it's a fucking old phone they retrofitted for a PR boost and to get people to read their magazine."

It's like they think anything electronic is expensive. Old outdated phones were probably 15 or 20 bucks, and they got a deal from TMO

Around 9min the guy is cumming over it like they've discovered life in another galaxy. How the fuck can you be so thrilled

She's the senior tech analyst for one of the most brain-dead sites on the web.

Seriously, you can't make this shit up. Here are some article examples:

"10 Bizarre, Useless Facts We Learned on Reddit"
"A Clever Guide to Not Failing Miserably on Instagram"
"Text Messaging is the New Political Forum for Young Adults"

Not only are the articles written badly, half of the information they post is wrong then edited later.

How much do the magazines cost? And where can I get one?

There is only 1000 of them and only for the October edition, so good luck finding it.

android works without a sim card.

How long do you think until they kill the plans on them?

I mean if they forget about the units, then you'd have a completely free smartphone that works indefinitely, you don't need to pay for Data or anything

Does anyone know where I can order a copy of this magazine from? Its the 2nd of October one in case other people are looking for it.
