So how 'cool' would watching YouTube videos on an iPhone 5 in an Aston make me? Hitting all the top 3 coolest brands in one go. I'm going to go for sub-zero lol cool

This is the thing with this survey isn't it. Watching Youtube on an iPhone sitting in an Aston isn't actually cool smile Why would it be?!

I have done that on numerous occasions and at no time did I feel like Pierce Brosnan in the Thomas Crowne Affair - probably my definition of movie cool smile

That's why I have a Samsung Galaxy - it's like an iPhone; only better.

Do you know what I increasingly love about this forum and it's members? It's the ability to create so much discussion over the smallest, and let's face it, difficult to define subject. I don't know who Rizzle kicks are, but equally, I don't know anything about the poll or who operates it. But what I do know is....and this is a fact, when I'm in my Aston, there is not a man on this planet that's as cool as I am (albeit only in my head!).

Sits back and awaits yet more quality ranting.....love it.

Far too kind Neil......and trust me, my kids do not think I'm cool......unless in the Aston, in which case I just slip through the net!

Is that like 2 negatives making a positive? In which case we're hot? Good grief, now that's something I'm not!

I think you've summarised Samsung's product strategy right there.

Adam, as a Nokia man you'll have to agree that the 6210 is the epitome of cool smile

I don't think it WAS a quality rant. There was no swearing and no gut wrenching bile in the text where you could feel his pain and emotional distress. I've read much better rants on other threads. That said, this is of course the Aston forum where rants are kept to a genteel level. Despite that, I give outofstepuk 3/10 for effort. Must do better.

You know it smile

300 hours standby time and, IIRC, infrared data transfer between compatible phones! In 2000, that was VERY cool. We would have been on that silly list back then.

The Shoreditch Hipster Set will be using them (ironically) within a year, mark my words!
