I watched Ross Kemp return to Afghanistan on Discovery channel and they captured a Taliban that was claiming that he is civilian but after they searched his phone they figured out that he is Taliban, but guess what phone he had??? ..........................................................Sony Ericsson W810i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I got the idea to start this thread, I wanted to make a poll but I don't know how :? : :? : :? :
So there is a question, how to make a poll?

Well, in my opinion it isn't THAT unimportant. In fact, I didn't know the taliban guys had Sony cellphones. From PR I got the idea they only had some kind of Nextel... If "reload" anymations are important, if "draw" animations are important, why isn't a cellphone unimportant?

I'm not saying a DEV should get his head right into it. Perhaps ask a community modder to make a more modern cellphone (but with no trademark).

Because we could face some serious charges if we were to portray actual cell phone models and brand names?

Or we'd have to pay massive royalties to some rich ******* so our little virtual Taliban could blow up infidels with iPhones.

Did you not read mine (only read the OP) or was this some counter-ninja-opposite-of-ninjaing-after-5-minutes situation?

Seriously whats the point? first this "suggestion" is based of one clip of one guy in a single incident, i bet they have MANY types of phone, you think this is the official phone of the taliban? in wide enough use to warren making it? highly doubt it. Secondly, the current model dose the job just fine.

reload and draw animations should be pretty much standard and should have a nice quality and realism to them, there are most likely no two ways to do it. cell phones on the other hand are very different due to the marked being flooded with them. also the cell phones used for the bombs are most likely not going to be right off the line, but might be old. just because you saw one guy with a new cell phones does not mean that it is the standard.

not the one attached to the bomb of course, but the one detonating the bomb could be.

but its kind of low priority, very low.
