So I’ve had my new phone for a few months now (okay, so that might declassify it at “new), and I’m quite happy with it. It’s a Samsung Blackjack. Unfortunately, everyone who sees or borrows it to make a call seems feel it necessary to fawn over it and freak out.

“Oh my god, is that an iPhone?!?!”

Now let’s take a look here:

They look nothing alike. Upon my explanation that it’s not an iPhone, they ask if it’s a Blackberry. Now, that’s a bit more reasonable - they’ve both got QWERTY keyboards. But then I have to explain that it’s a Blackjack, and all hell breaks loose. Leave it to Samsung to name their product something that not only should probably be considered trademark infringement, but is bound to confuse the crap out of anyone that doesn’t also have a Blackjack.

Ah well.
