They Are Smarter And Have Better Taste in Phones

Gwyneth Paltrow has decided she can't live in the US. Apparently we're no match for the Europeans when is comes to good dinner party conversation. Says Paltrow, "I was at a party back home and there were a bunch of young people and this girl was like, 'Oh, my God! Are those juicy jeans?' I thought, 'I can't live in this country. I have to go back to Europe.'" But we suspect that what has really drawn her to Europe is the fact that they have nicer mobile phones. Paltrow is the first customer for Nokia's luxury handset company, Vertu. Oh, my God! Is that a £15,000, gold-fronted, crystal-encrusted handset with an in-built hotline to a personal assistant?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
