Wow AT&T - way to make your point.

If your point is "we suck".

I feel like we're back in 2001 when the maps essentially outlined major highways for regular coverage. Depending on what roads you drove, you'd pick your provider.

This is intended to help confused Old People realize that the other map was misleading about coverage in general.

Jack, I think you should be asking: "Old Farts who don't know what 3G is, does this comfort you that your phone will still work? Because, seriously, if you think that ATT only has regular coverage in the map Verizon shows, you are thinking that ATT hasn't grown it's network since 2001."

Also note that Luke only states 'major' cities like San Francisco. How about the Adirondack Mountains, ol' Lukey? I wouldn't mind sending you a postcard from our camp in Long Lake, NY, where we must travel 2 miles to a bridge just to get a bar of measly EDGE.

Oh, but if you switch to Verizon? You get an upgrade: you can get 4 bars at the beach on the lakeside.

The idiot selling it bought it from another seller and is reselling it.

[cgi.ebay.com] was the original five devices for sale, he's reselling his like a little profiteering prick.

@jasonliang: Yep. And 5 of them were available to start with.

Either way, I guarantee Moto's gonna be buying this phone back and looking it up in M-Track (their device assignment/tracking/etc system). Then they'll go after whatever employee let these prototypes loose.

To whoever's getting the pink slip for their fuckup: Good luck.

It sucks in the sense that it cuts you off from getting the most out of your software. On the flipside though you have to develop within the rules of the platform ESPECIALLY if you're releasing your app commercially. You may not fuss much if an Apple update breaks your app but the people that bought it will.

What Apple should do after this though is open up to feedback on what API's devs want making public. Give the functionality the devs want to them. #appstore

A quick google search of the 800-number results in some interesting reading. #theeroticaphone

So, in 1984, that young exec was bragging to his former frat brothers about how he makes more money than God, spends it all on blow, and has a sweet new boobie-phone.

Anyone else find it ironic that this product can be ordered from a company based out of Mission, Kansas? #theeroticaphone

I think it'd provide aural sex rather than oral sex.

I'm surprised that it only plugs into the wall and doesn't let you plug-in. #theeroticaphone

@Nathan Obbards: Hey, at least they didn't go the extra mile for realism and design it to make your ear bloody a few days each month, one way or another.

Y'know, by, like, inexplicably cranking up the volume on you? #theeroticaphone

In reply to These Fujitsu Phone Concepts Are as Confusing as They Are Awkward (Drafted per wilson)
Too bad we won't be able to import the phones. Thanks, Japan, for locking your phones into one carrier, even if they support GSM, and creating a lucrative market for outdated models (at over $500 or so for a phone even on eBay with one of those el-cheapo fake-out SIM module things I have to PASTE onto a SIM card).

When will Japan learn there's a demand for their phones in the US? #fujitsuconceptphones
