Caption contest: this is why grocery stores shouldn’t sell smartphones

“We call it a very nice phone and you can get it on a 12 month contract.” Oh, really, Tesco? Nifty! So, how much is that bag of day-old doughnuts… with and without a contract? Don : “Knowing my luck, if I buy this now they’ll have an iPhone 4 with a Bold keyboard on sale next week.” Darren : “Do you guys sell a vegan model?” Michael : “At Tesco, we’ve got raspberries, strawberries, and… ThunderBerries?” Tim : “With Android, are you supposed to squeeze it or shake it to tell if it’s ripe?” Chris : “You can find it in the toothpaste aisle of your local grocery store.” Myriam : “Behold the Desire Torch, a new AndroBerry phone from HTRIM… now available in the cheese aisle.” Richard Lai: “By popular demand we have extended our Tesco Mobile Rewards offer to our shanzhai range.” Sean Hollister: “And Tesco embraced fragmentation, the only way it knew how.” Vlad: “Hey, if RIM’s gonna use our apps on its tablet, then we’re gonna use its buttons on our phones. Fair’s fair.” [Thanks, Matt O.] Caption contest: this is why grocery stores shouldn’t sell smartphones originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 03 Apr 2011 10:36:00 EDT.
