Phones in London

So, I was looking in some mobile phone shops here in London (girlfriend needed a new SIM card to make her tmobile phone work here.) And I was possibly going to get a cheap pre-paid.

Anyway, nothing cooler about the phones here. Many different ones, yes, but nothing better far as I can tell. Most are uglier and cheeiser. Basically, crap.

They do have the Motorola SLVR which like a candy bar version of the RAZR for people who dont like flips. But other then that, nothing that made me go "wow"

You should try looking at the phones in Asian countries if you ever travel there. It's amazing how far ahead of the US they are in terms of mobile phones and cellular technologies.

When I was coming back from India, we had an hour stop @ Hong Kong... and man the phones they had their @ the airport. I was so ready to buy one of the "cool" phones but I just held back.
