How do you spell brain-dead? N–o–k–i–a

File this bizarrre device under "What were they thinking?"

It's Nokia's new top-of-the-line, as-placed-in-Oscar-nominees'-gift-bags model 7280 phone.

They call it the "Going Out" phone.

I call it the "Flamed Out."

Why am I being so hard on this $749 piece of superstylish-looking kit?

Because it doesn't have number keys.

That's right, it operates exclusively through voice commands.

Huh.

I guess the computer inside this expensive paperweight-to-be is different from every other computer ever invented, in that it never, ever crashes.

Because if it did, well, you wouldn't be able to activate it by pressing a key to see if it worked, would you?

It weighs three ounces, so you won't even know it's there.

4.53" long x 1.26" wide x 0.75" thick.
