Simon’s and Brett’s “I Can’t Tell” segment about the NDA slide and Nokia secret-phones had me squirming in discomfort. Just change your names and put a bag on your head for the podcast, then you can be an anonymous source! No one will ever know!
Well it all boiled down to HTC I think ;P
It has to be HTC because they have the most Smart phones if I am not mistaking


















Again a great show, but boy do I have a headace after all the banging.
