OT: I always enjoy being a rebel. I ordered a Nokia 928 Windows Smart Phone over the weekend. I have got Windows 8 on my laptop so I figured why not.

amazon.com

I just wanted everyone to know I personally am not slowing down the growth of smart phone sales.

As for the margins? The phone cost me nothing out of pocket but of course there is that nasty little two year contract with Verizon. Oh well...

Nothing is really free now is it.... Well except for the uniquely great experience of our shared wisdom here!

LOL, RtS
