T-Mobile G2 Touch. Rant o’clock

Pants! Darn! Oof!

Because there’s little that annoys us more at the moment than network providers renaming phones. Why is that? Two reasons, dear (and patient) reader. So sit back, relax and, as always, get ready for a rant:

1 – Mobile phone network providers like to re-name phones because it gives them an overinflated sense of self worth. Not that their sense of self worth could get much more inflated. So the HTC Hero is not the HTC Hero when T-Mobile get their sticky little mitts on it, it becomes instead the T-Mobile G2 Touch. And then all the dolts out there who don’t understand how the world works go, oohhhh, look at that, look at the pretty phone that T-Mobile have made (well, actually, the T-Mobile Touch is actually a hella ugly phone, but you get the point), aren’t they so clever to be able to make phones as well as providing network coverage. NO, THEY ARE NOT, THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN FAME THIEVES.

2 – People like T-Mobile like to pretend that they have lots of exclusive products that absolutely no one else has when in fact they don’t, they simply re-name and re-brand and, if you’re really lucky, re-colour something, then claim that the thing they’ve done so to is all theirs and no-one else’s and oohhh, aren’t you so lucky that we’ve done this for you. NO, WE ARE NOT LUCKY, WE ARE DUPED, CONNED AND TRICKED BY YOU YOU FAME THIEVES.

Erm, anyway. Glad we got that off our chests. For less ranting, more facting, check out this T-Mobile G2 Touch review. Or for some FLAGRANT LIES you can even check out the official page.
