What you totin' in that bag?
Is it riches? Is it rags?
Does it have a funny smell?
Is it a ball? Is it a bell?
Is it something you can share?
If you don't it won't be fair.
Do you feed it? Does it bite?
Will it prowl around at night?

If you drop it will it blow?
Does it give off a greenish glow?
Is it little? Is it big?
Will it make you do a jig?
Is it magnetic? Will it stick?
Is it something you can lick?
Did you build it from a kit?
Is it shine-ola? Is it shit?

seriously?

It's the first phone in North America to have an OLED screen (at least it was at the time I received it), which might account for its unnaturally long life span between charges.

I wish other cell phones had the juice that this little bugger has packed into it.

Yeah, those OLEDs are a very low power technology. Much lower than LCD. And if that's not exciting enough, just wait until the flexible substrate models become marketable. That's going to be really cool.
