I darn the creators of the N270 to Heck!
After seeing The Matrix Reloaded I wanted that phone. So I looked around and found out that the phone doesn't exist. I look around some more and I find out that it does exist, Samsung made a version based on the phone in the movie. So I look around some more and find the specs. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT FETHING MIND would pay $500 for a phone that, if it didn't look like the one in the movie, is worth $100 max.
Let me get this straight, to capitalize on the marketing of a movie in which computers and telecommunications devices are core concepts, you create a phone without wireless web access, no onboard web browser, can't even get email on it, PCS 800/1900 only making it useless outside the US and then have the gall to ask $500 for it. Are you people out of your minds?
I'll only briefly touch on the difficulty of even purchasing this phone (for those with money burning holes in your pockets). When you (after much difficulty) find out who supports this phone (Sprint) and go on their website to check it out you'll find that you can't actually purchase the phone. You can download the owner's manual, but you can't actually buy it. Strange.
