Hi Feryl, can you show me where it’s been shown before? According to Nokia, it’s exclusive (or it was when released late Thanksgiving day), and I haven’t seen that scene before where Sam uses the phone to hack.

Boy, that exclusive 1-second shot sold me on the movie! Can’t wait to see Sam using that beautiful, lush full-keyboard to hack his way into ENCOM. Threw my crappy iPhone into the trash and am getting one of those sweet Nokia’s instead. Everyone else should too! 😉
