The root of this is that it has a QWERTY keyboard and no touch screen, and my protestations that it is probably newer than her smartphone and packing entirely equivalent hardware are falling on deaf ears. As it's 11pm and I haven't taken a photo yet it's time for a random object, so I thought I'd show you a REAL brick. This is Sue's Nokia 9000 Communicator from 1996. It runs an intel 386 processor, has 8Mb of RAM and weighs half a kilo. As you might see from my hand, it's also huge. Still, much as we may be shocked by it now, it heralded the shape of things to come. The organiser/phone/computer/qwerty concept probably reached zenith with Nokia's venerable E71, and now they've moved onto the touch screen Lumia series. Either way, compared to this monster, my phone is anything but a brick!
