Samsung S5600 Preston. Bullying is bad
We could try and tell you about the Samsung S5600 in a serious way. About how it is an update of the Tocco Lite, one of Samsung’s most successful ever phones. About how the S5600 is more or less the same phone, but with the additions of 3G and GPS capabilities, and with a slightly improved camera. We could tell you the phone still uses the great TouchWiz interface. We could tell you the phone still uses the same music player. We could point you in the direction of these great Samsung Preston deals. Or suggest, perhaps, that you visit Samsung’s official page. Or that you read this Samsung Preston review. Or we could…
BUT WE DON’T WANT TO DO ANY OF THAT! We just want to point at this thing and laugh like some demented bully. Look at its silly name! Preston! Preston! This phone is called Preston. Ahahahahahahhaa.
Because, come on. Come on! You honestly couldn’t find a better word, Samsung? Preston was the word you found when you were flipping through the OED, the word that you thought summed this thing up the best. Even looking at the other versions of this very same phone you can find so many other words that make sense. The Vodafone exclusive version of the same phone (the Preston is for Orange only) is called the Blade, for example. Or a similar model in India is called the Star. Whereas the American cousin as unpacked in the video below is the equally celestial Haley. Did those Koreans think that we have some kind of special pride in Preston? Did they think we’d see this name and go, ah! Preston! The place where, erm, they have a mediocre football team and it rains a lot, yes, that’s exactly the kind of place I want to be associated with, where do I sign up? And so on and so forth. Baffling times, dear reader, baffling times. If you have any insights as to where this name came from, don’t hesitate to let us know.
