[The video starts up, as usual, in Tails' room. He seems to be in a good mood.]

I have to say, I'm liking the new service the community is using so far. It's got the majority of features that we had before, plus some new ones. I wouldn't mind if it stays this way really. What about you guys? What do you think of it so far?

[He then remembers something.] ...Oh and I almost forgot. I finally saved up enough to get a new phone.

[He takes the new cell phone and shows it on camera.]

I switched to Sprint and it's cheaper than AT&T. I would have gotten an IPhone, but those are way too expensive for me. Even if I saved up. At least this one is good enough.

[He puts it away and the video ends.]

Fancy phone you've got there.

[twotailmechanic]

It's a blackberry. You can use the internet as well as call people. Not as fancy as the Iphone, but this is just as good.

[madeitsquare]

Those are both terribly silly names for a darn phone.

[twotailmechanic]

I know, but they have to be catchy somehow to get customers' attention.

[madeitsquare]

Really? Would you happen to know which of the two sells the most?

1/2

[twotailmechanic]

Hmm... Let me see. [Goes to look it up.]

2/2

[twotailmechanic]

The iPhone sells more, but that's mainly because it's made by a large company and because it can do a lot more than other phones. That's why it's so expensive.

[madeitsquare]

Huh? How much stuff can a phone do, anyway?

[twotailmechanic]

For an iPhone, it's usually around $300. For the Blackberry, it ranges from $36 - $500. I got the cheapest one and I would have gotten it earlier, but I had to pay the bills first.

[madeitsquare]

That's ridiculous!

I just realized I should have translated real money into rings for his world. Crap...

[twotailmechanic]

That's how it is these days unfortunately.

Let's say you did and the community translated it back. :B

[madeitsquare]

Who'd even pay that much for a phone?!

Sounds good. I really should figure out his world's currentcy one of these days -_-;;

[twotailmechanic]

A lot of people if they really wanted it or need it for work or something.

[madeitsquare]

It's just a phone!

[twotailmechanic]

Not just a phone. These phones can send emails, connect to the internet, and other functions too. I know the iPhone can be used to record videos or take pictures.

[madeitsquare]

Well that's silly.

[twotailmechanic]

People like to multi-task a lot. It makes perfect sense really.

[Have a white robotic jaguar waving at you, Tails. Then he tilts his head.]

"iPhone?" Don't you mean oPhone? Or is this another different worlf thing?

Re: [video]

[twotailmechanic]

[He's used to the weirdness of the community by now so he's not surprised.] No, iPhone. I guess different products have different name in some worlds.

[makewayforroze]

[She knows...very little of what that means but he seems excited! And cheaper is good!]

Are you enjoying it?

[twotailmechanic]

It works much better than my old one, plus it'll be cheaper to pay the phone bills now.

[makewayforroze]

[In this she sees a lost Christmas present opportunity!]

What can it do that the other couldn't?

[twotailmechanic]

It's about the same actually.

[makewayforroze]

It's still nice to be saving money.

[twotailmechanic]

It is. Especially since I don't get a lot of work these days.

[makewayforroze]

[No matter how smart, she still thinks that's not something someone so young should worry about.]

You'll remember to ask me for help if you need it, won't you?

[twotailmechanic]

[Considering that he doesn't have parents or guardians, it couldn't be helped.] I know, don't worry. I'll be fine.

[heinz_doof]

Wait... That's how you've been accessing the community this whole time? A phone? I thought you had a computer and what new service?

[twotailmechanic]

I do have a laptop. I use my laptop most of the time, but I sometimes use my phone when I'm not at home. Sprint is a phone company. I switched because AT&T was becoming too expensive.

[heinz_doof]

Well, that makes sense. I really should try these new fangle gizmos.
Rodney was able to convince me to get video chat on my computer... I still haven't tried that out but I will.

And what new service at this community?
