MobileBurn.com – The Nokia Lumia 900 is Nokia’s new flagship Windows Phone 7.5 smartphone. It shares the same basic design of the 800 model, with its polycarbonate body, but features a larger Clear Black AMOLED display and 4G LTE data connectivity for AT&T’s network.

Please Tweet it! clicktotweet.com What do strangers do when you crash their phone conversations? The answer even surprised me! Shot in San Francisco, CA over Thanksgiving weekend. Special thanks to my beautiful wife Kim Evey for operating camera, and to the three surprisingly nice people whose calls I crashed! Is everyone that nice in San Francisco??? music by audionautix (Jason Shaw) www.youtube.com A lot of you ask how I record the sound in these videos. I use a Sennheiser wireless lavaliere mic (hidden under my sweater, by the breast bone), and shoot with a small, inexpensive Canon HD camera (HFR200) that the audio receiver plugs directly into. Sometimes I use a lavalier mic that I’ve hidden in the top of a ball point pen, and it sits in my pocket. If you’d like to see how I rigged that, check out this video: www.youtube.com Tags: cellphone “cell phone” phone crashing crasher crasher “phone call” call strangers improv parody pranks spoof video hidden camera idiot funny silly crazy weird dumb prank video cute girl guy comedy comedian jokes goofy fun interview happy television tv movie “hidden camera” web series internet talk talking speak speaking entertainment “sketch comedy” “web series” “home video” man woman dude
MobileBurn.com – The Samsung Focus S is the second of two new Windows Phone 7.5 smartphones released by AT&T and Samsung this fall. Featuring a 4.3-inch, Super AMOLED Plus display and an 8.5mm thick frame, the Focus S is a dead ringer for the Galaxy S II Android smartphones from Samsung. It is powered by a 1.4GHz, single-core processor and has 16GB of internal storage, but lacks microSD expansion – like most Windows Phone smartphones. The Focus S has the same 8 megapixel autofocus camera as found on the Galaxy S II models, but it can only record 720p video, instead of 1080p. The Focus S is available now from AT&T for 9.99 with a new two-year contract. More info: www.mobileburn.com
