Crazy dutch! Free iPhone for students

March 12th, 2009

Voorburg, The Netherlands,

Students in The Netherlands really got some luck! Here comes the crazy part.
Normally when you go to school, you need a pencil and some paper to write down your stuff. Well it seems to be complicated for some students to lurn their own language. So what this school did in The Netherlands, is giving 30 iPhones to their students to test if they can lurn their language better by using their cellphones. How insane is that?!

So all the students of this 2nd grade class is getting an iPhone for free!
Hope this wasn’t payed by the taxpaying dutch people. Worst part of the story, the website isn’t working correctly on the iPhone.

Here you can read the translated news article about the free iPhone.

If you are looking for a great smartphone, you search the whole net for it. Well At least I did. I needed a new phone, because my old one – Samsung U600 – broke down. After two years it’s life ended. The touch pad of the phone was nearly dead. Well time to look for a new one!

I wanted a smartphone, one that was easy in use, and had some great features.
Well a lot of phones now day’s, are great phones, but what is the best phone? Some people are saying the iPhone is the best. Well I think that one is way to big and heavy. So I was looking for a different type of phone. Suddenly the brand HTC took my attention.. and I was looking trough their types of phones. The HTC Tytn II P4550 looked pretty cool to me. The screen would be perfect! If you slide the phone, the screen got this great feature that is turning.  Ideal for messaging and being on the net.
