hehe... actually i think the most amusing part of that nokia's flower
ordering commercial is that he uses wap for the purpose. now, who
would waste time using wap to order flowers - what kind of flower shops
got a wap page for ordering anyway - when he could just call the flower
shop.. clearly nokia doesn't see what kind of things that still are easier
to do by an old fashion phone call. :) beside.. if he was about to use the
wap services available in the western world for ordering flowers he would
be lucky if the flowers got there by the end of the week. :/ as long as
the phone makers don't see what the different things should be used for we
won't get anywhere.
