I really think the AsianAvenue or Friendster phone is where it’s at. Huge comeback from those companies

Yeah that might be ok, but I’m more interested in the Friendster phone, due out shortly after according to rumors, Word on the street is that it’ll be a Symbian based device, seeking to win over the market with a retro 2002esque feel.
