Lets face it, they need the iphone because they need the fastest 3g so they can download the "Jihad for dummies" app onto their phone. They also need it for google earth, duh.

Wow, every single Pr dev or Supporting memeber has just given the new guy a complete blow out on just a quirky little idea.
sorry mate but not everyone is like that in this community, i am guessing most terrorists just use the phones that people send to be recylced into third world countries.
also i dont see how phone companies could object to you using one of their phone models in your mod outlawz? they should be paying for it to be advertised ffs.
i hope in the future the PR team welcomes the new players a bit more freely, otherwise this is a sad day for PR and the future of its development

The current PR phone is as much a part of PR culture as mythical fast ropes.

no one has been overly-aggressive or anything of that nature, it was just a poor suggestion.

Gazz you are a more experienced member in this community, and have most probably been apart of it longer than Jan 2007 such as me. July 2009 is not novice but it is still fairly new.
mobile phones maybe not the most important thing to you, but in every business you have someone who nitpicks and keeps it in line

and in this case those are the new players who are new and enthusiastic, and want to find new ideas for the mod, or update the old ones.
am i correct in my musing?

its not so much that replacing the mobile phone is low priority , which it is, but the basis of the suggestion is poor. A single clip in which one guy uses a particular phone is not the basis for a suggestion.

oh come on Jack, lighten up
think of it this way, all the DEVs etc aren't paid, so they are using their free time, they want their free time to be meaninful in terms of the progress of the mod, so is replacing a perfectly good generic phone model with another more specific phone model really the best use of that time?
thats why we're making light of this suggestion, and I'm sure patrick hasn't taken offence
anyway, iirc the dude with the phone was later released without charge? (been a while since i watched it)

When I play insurgent, my phone doesn't even have
A. Push to Talk
B. Texting
C. A calculator, for when my Squad Members ask me how many rockets they have in their RPG right now.
D. Mobile web
E. A clock, so I know when praying time is.
F. A calendar, so I know when to start Ramadan...
G. Family plan, so when my kids want a phone I don't have to pay out the bum to put them on my plan.
8. International calling, so I can set off IEDs from my cave in a distant country
I. Music player - integrated so I can listen to some Jihad music
J. Bluetooth, so I have both hands free to fire my lasers.
and so much more...

Why did you guys base the talibans' cellphone on a NEXTEL?

Yeah, that's the only possible way of getting signal in afghanistan I suppose.
+1 to this idea.

lol "I will once again attack the USA with bombs, which will be detonated by this and other similarly cool looking models of phones from Nokia. They were free with the purchase of a buddy plan for unlimited calls between you and your jihadi buddies so you can coordinate them for attacks, AND detonate your bombs without going broke!"
