My old Nokia N75 still took better pictures than all iPhones up to and including the 3GS. Only downsides were that it was a brick and Symbian was such a slow OS (this was pre-release back when 3G was the new big thing and the camera blew a RAZR's out of the water)

I was going to suggest the knockoff (perfect wrapping options replication, full functionality guaranteed, trackpants not included).


I predict a big 3210 comeback in the coming years, Nokia Heritage line.

Hah well I'm a whore also (currently a mpb, mac mini, macbook, ipad, username, etc)... For the longest time I really just doubted the usefulness of a smartphone. Having an iPad, though, has changed my mind ... Damn you Jobs!

jet: have you considered gitman? they are cut proportionally IME (not short like thom or stupid like boo), and the quality is great. this is assuming you want a more casual oxford, though. There are also more MC ***** like Borelli and Finamore that are cut extremely well and basically **** on the aforementioned labels. I have a Finamore wing collar tux shirt that is on a completely different level than any of the other shirts I own.

Dont be a sheep and get an iPhone4 with Droid Bionic and iPhone5 looming. Would be dumb if you don't NEED a phone right now.

I forgot about gitman, still haven't tried on an M to see how it fits and looks. I don't like the plastic buttons, going to take a look at epaulet as someone kindly pointed me too I know Mike does good stuff. I'm going to wear untucked so the hemline needs to be on point.

Why is STF so cheap? I do like finamore but not sure if the neck/chest are in correct ratio for me based on the specs.

The buttons don't really bother me with Gitman, but yeah it is kind of a 'lame' aspect of the shirt. Stitching is incredibly well done however. Re: STP; I'm not sure where he gets his stuff, but I have a few formal shirts from there and they are excellent, no factory seconds bullshit etc. Some of the measurements seem weird to me, I think they do it different than how we measure. My Finamore is Dior slim, FWIW, and tapers pretty aggressively. Might get a tux there soon since the flood pwnd my Viktor and Rolf tux

edit: IIRC, the STP guy can do appointments if you want to check stuff out in person. I'm pretty sure it's in LA.

Good look on STP shirt prices are dirt cheap compared to what we pay for ****, will cop for work steez.

I think I will just do gitman since I don't like the hem of epaulet plus lack of button down collar. I'll need to get some supa pearly ass thick buttons (not borrelli thick) and swap them out. Sorry to hear about the flood

Minot, ND. It has been raptured. Had some stuff in storage. Oh well. I still have my house unlike a large number of people, most of whom do not have flood insurance.

Jet Gitman buttons are ******* whack as **** on the white oxford. They're an awful, weird yellow plastic ****, otherwise pretty good. PM me I got a bunch of spare, awesome thick MoP buttons from MJK if you want to switch them out.

Thom Browne oxford is great, man, especially the one with the light blue grosgrain placket. Take off the tag and get that shortened, best white oxford ever
