This is the pinnacle of capitalism.

I’m not exaggerating. Imagine telling someone from just 50 years ago that you could have a device with which you could access all the world’s knowledge or play games, could help you communicate to nearly anyone in the solar system and take pictures of them with a decent camera that you could share with everyone else in the solar system, could entertain with music, movies, or audiobooks, can track your exact location and speed using GPS while you’re beating Kenyans in a street race, and most importantly of all, let you get see the latest from your favorite Internet celebrity cat.

Then imagine that you tell him it only takes a couple hours of work to make the money to pay for it. This phone is the phenomenal.

Of course, it’s not the best phone out there–the iPhone or the Galaxy SIII take the cake on that, but unlike its predecessor (ATT Fusion 1), it actually works and it works pretty well at that. The storage and memory seem to allow you to do everything that you want to do. You can’t store a billion songs on it, but you can store several audiobooks. And the keyboard is infantile compared to the Apple keyboard, but it’s not a deal breaker for what I need this puppy for.

I can maintain my Google Voice/Skype/GoPhone system and save hundreds of dollars on my phone bill every year (read my books for more on this dandy) and still accomplish everything I want. It’s utter brilliance. Kudos and I look forward to the next generation!
