This was posted on an Ital­ian forum and I found it so funny that I had to repost it.

It was a rainy day when an HTC Dia­mond met by chance an iPhone…

I : Hello Diamond!

D : Hello iPhone! I found you a lit­tle bit fat­ter from the last time we met.

I : Well, you know, I was a young boy at the time. Now I grow up. I am an UMTS mobile phone now, and I have GPS too. You have to notice that my user inter­face has not changed though. It is still as easy and fast as it was before. What about you? Did you man­age to solve the prob­lems you had in the past?

D : I tell you what. My per­sonal trainer, the xda-​developer web site, keeps me in per­fect shape with new tweaks every day and I have to say that after a few charge cycles my bat­tery is even bet­ter than before. My user inter­face has become faster and faster over time. But, wait… Did you say UMTS and GPS? Bril­liant! That means that your owner can use you as a modem and as a GPS navigator!!!

I : Ehm, to tell the truth I can only make use of Google Maps with my GPS for the time being and my UMTS con­nec­tion can be only used to con­nect to the Inter­net from the phone…

D : That’s very bad! Well, you can­not have them all. If you like you can shoot a video of my Tom­Tom or iGo nav­i­ga­tion appli­ca­tion and show it to your owner.

I : I can­not shoot videos from my cam­era… Please, hold on for a sec­ond. My owner is launch­ing Safari to down­load a ring­tone from the inter­net… Why is he yelling at me? Doesn’t he know that I can­not down­load files from the internet?

D : Don’t worry! I will down­load it for you with my Opera Mobile browser and will send it you via Bluetooth.

I : Ehm, don’t you know that my Blue­tooth can­not be used to receive files?

D : Ok. No prob­lem. I will attach the media file to an MMS and I will send you the MMS message.

I : .. I’m sorry.. my cur­rent soft­ware does not sup­port MMS messages.

D : Damn! Again, don’t worry. You can­not have all the fea­ture onboard. Let me think. Ok, I will attach the media file to an e-​mail mes­sage and when you will have received it you can save it and set it as a ringtone.

I : No, no, never mind. I can­not set it as a ring­tone. To do that I need to move it using SHH and it is a quite dif­fi­cult oper­a­tion for my owner.

D : OK, I under­stand. I hope you will have a file man­ager to move your files around your file system?

I : NO…NO…NO… I don’t have it. Please, leave me alone!

D : Ok, but you will be able to do some­thing or you are only a nice look­ing device?

I : Sure! I can place phone calls and send SMS mes­sage as it has never been done before!

D : Oh, I see. That explains your ⁴⁹⁹⁄₅₉₉ retail price in Italy!
