ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD

In reply to BlackBerry Tour Gently Dissembled, Reassembled Before Your Very Eyes
I was so close to buying this phone... But they killed it by making the charger/usb connection different from the mini-usb A that was on all their phones. That's the reason I love my curve so much. I can charge it anywhere, because everyone has those cables. They killed it for no reason.

If you woke up dreaming about this, someone needs to show you how to google porn.

Why throw that all away? Most of those cameras are probably still 100% good, the owner likely bought a new can and decided to chuck the old one instead of handing it down, giving it away, selling it, etc.

@Super Sonic: How in the hell can you assume they're all working? I'd say it's more plausible that the cameras have been dropped/sat on/dropped in water/eaten by a dog.

@TTeuer: How (in the hell) can you assume they're all broken? I'd say it's more plausible that some of the cameras have not been dropped/sat on/dropped in water/eaten by a dog.

There's a lot of the one specific cannon camera ... I wonder why ... it's a good camera.

@tahksik: Just a guess... these may be from some kind of assembly line defect pile which was discarded all at once instead of being reworked and put in the distribution channel.

Obviously the VHS and the others aren't from that batch so this is probably a mix of assembly line rejects and cameras collected from users.

Just a guess though.

@LastError: That was my thought. There are a lot of the same models of several cameras, as far as I can tell.
