T-Mobile G2 Touch. Comedy gold
Wouldn’t it be funny, right, if you went into a T-Mobile shop and said “hello shopkeep, I would like to purchase on this find day today something I read about on the interweb. It’s a phone, a cracking if somewhat ugly Google Android phone called the HTC Hero. That’s right, spotty young sir, the HTC Hero. Apparently it’s all very modern and efficient in connecting you to said interweb whilst also being able to fit into your hand, being as it is a mobile phone communication device. Now what, sniggering urchin, do you say to my request. Hmm?”
And then the acne-ridden tool would mumble something about the HTC Hero actually being re-branded as the T-Mobile G2 Touch for it’s release on T-Mobile. That is was exactly the same phone, but T-Mobile had just given it a different name. “But I want the HTC Hero, see, look here, I printed out the thing here, on this sheet right here, look at this, if you can read, you miserable buffoon – the HTC Hero it says, several times in fact. This is the phone I would like to purchase today. I have cash. Plenty of it too. More than you probably earn in a week you giggling piece of grease.”
And the admonished clerk might try and explain again that the T-Mobile Touch was exactly the same phone. Exactly. That the HTC Hero just isn’t called the HTC Hero on T-Mobile. Then he might even pull up this T-Mobile G2 Touch review on his screen to prove it. Or show the gentleman the official page, then the same page for the HTC Hero and show how all the specs and stats lined up. But then the gent would demand, would absolutely insist that he wanted the HTC Hero… and it would be hilarious.
Right? Wouldn’t it? Ahh, balls to you. It’s comedy gold and you know it. If only the cast of Monty Python were still around, they’d be up for it…
