interesting... I just assumed they were for children/morons since that's who their commercials seem to be aiming for. I hadn't actually looked at them, but looking at their website now. For an advertising campaign that makes it clear it isn't a phone and they aren't a phone company, they sure don't do a good job clearing up WTF exactly it/they is/are. I see the pricing, looks quite good, and the features, some look cool. But I had to look to Wikipedia to answer useful questions and get real information, like about service. And sure enough, it is a phone. An internet enabled camera phone with some sort of GPS thing going on. And they are a phone company. They just lease networks from Sprint and Verizon.
I still don't get the impression they're a serious company, and I wouldn't expect them to be forthcoming when it comes to explaining a bill or why the thing isn't working, but you like yours Evan? I bet you got the "Drift" model, didn't you. :lol:
