It has everything I've wanted, especially the buckling spring home button and the 28-factor authentication.

Great! We have now gone full circle from people printing their back parts on the copy machine.

This will only be my libre phone for winter time use - once the temperatures get to 85.57 degrees Fahrenheit the gallium phone body would melt so I'll have to place it in the kitchen refrigerator for the rest of the year.

When I was young my parents worked at General Electric Corporation, which was one of the world's largest companies at the time. They said that on Monday mornings, the big Xerox copier trays would be full of copies of people's butts and other body parts that they had placed on the copier glass over the weekend.

If I were working at a place like that, I would carry a bottle of strong disinfectant with me, and wipe that machine down thoroughly before using it.

Sure. If an evil red Californian gnome had stuck its sticky foot on it just before you use it, you could put yourself at risk of becoming a troll yourself or conspiring for world domination. Or designing overbloated desktop environments in order to eat every bit of RAM and consume all CPU power available.

But where is the 60X optical zoom camera? Can't have a phone without a camera.

I can xcowsay my XCKD phone. You can't do that with most other phones.

For example, if you try to xcowsay an iphone, this is what you get - not a workable phone.
