Oh boy. A phone. Colour me apathetic.

While I share Xeni’s enthusiasm for Android, which I assume is why this was posted, the web doesn’t need more “unboxing” pics or vids. It’s become just another step of the PR cycle for hyped gadgets, and that PR cycle already has PLENTY of support from Engadget/Gizmodo/etc. BBG has mostly avoided them, to its credit, but yet here’s a particularly pedestrian example on the main blog.

What is this… Engadget? I’m surprised you didn’t say that Blurrycam had struck again.
