A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
That's great an all, but I'm sure soon enough everyone will be able to order a custom sticker set on some Chinese website for $2.00 including shipping.
Also, I thought the R2-D2 edition design would have been a bit more... minimalist? Oh well I'm not even getting the phone (I'm on Sprint) but seriously that is GAUDY AS HELL
this is not the droid we're looking for....
seriously, droid 2 doesn't seem that hot to me.
They should do the droid pro with 3cpo
That shit looks weak. They should have the old star wars vibe to it but combine with a modern 2010 badass droid look to it. It looks like something you buy in 1977
NERD-Gasm!!!
I have wanted an Astromech Droid as a pet since I was 6. PLEASE, Engadget, if R2D2 skins come out for other devices *cough* Incredible *cough* please let us know straight away!
Le Jabba no botha
I'm gonna buy this phone and keep tally of all the times I get laid. You guys have no game if you're worried that your cell phone is going to ruin your chances of getting laid. I love r2 and my current droid. Tacky? No. Tacky is ruining your reception on accident with your finger
@Nateap87 Uh, different people have their bars set at different heights when it comes to getting laid. Yes, this would probably get you laid by the girls going to Celebration V. Have at it man!
That's not bespoke. "Bespoke" means "custom-made".
Can anyone going to Celebration V let me know if that is just a sticker, which may be easily removed?
I wouldn't picking up this version, yanking that stuff off, and being left with a white Droid 2.
@ckeegan
Doubt, very much, it's covered with "stickers."
So when you get a call from someone, do you just hear: beep boop beep beep boop boop beep?? (R2D2 language is what i mean by that for those who might be a little slow) Will they then come out with a C3PO phone that will translate what the R2D2 phone call was about so us humans can understand it??
Man, this could have been so much better than it is. Actually engraved into the back, actually in the shape of R2-D2, etc. Slapping a flat decal on the back does not make a special edition.
Seriously? That thing is just sad.
If Lucas were dead, he'd be turning in his grave - tragic fail.
@SExpress
Only because he wouldn't be getting the money from people that are still going to buy this thing.
;)
@beesneazy How many five year olds can afford a smartphone - come on!
@SExpress
LOL some people are BOUND to buy this thing convinced it's the greatest thing EVAR. I shouldn't judge but it's funny. Will be amazed if I see one in person and if it happens, oh lord. oh lord.
This is the phone I am looking for.
This Will Be The Hottest Device In The History Of Devices. But I So Do You Do So I CanI Like It So Much But It's Not To Late To Get Your Identy Stolen
If it only had a mini projector and came preloaded with Princess Leia's plea... oh, and X-Wing repair... and something to emit electric shocks on little rodent-like sidekicks.
