I'm surprised at all the custom **** on that thing. Custom box, custom back, custom faceplate with a somewhat fitted wallpaper - to anybody in manufacturing or design, are all those that easy to do?
As far as the box goes yes it would be literally just be copy and pasting a image on top of the box. Assuming they already have a template of the original box it would be effortless. Everything else I'm not sure.
Word on the Twitter wire is that Apple is going to sue Samsung over this, saying that it gave out the first free cell phone.
Love my iPhone, but that was an awesome comment. And this was a great move by Samsung. Whatever they spent--even if it was 1000 times the normal price of the phone--will be the biggest advertising bargain they've ever gotten.
Not only was the original facebook post going viral huge publicity, but them taking the next step and giving the phone away for free putting them back into the spotlight....amazing marketing. Whoever drew that picture of the animal on the unicycle should get an awesome raise.
Thanks to this, this paints Samsung as the victim and Apple as douchebags. Great move by Samsung. Maybe this will make it easier for Google to piledrive Apple into oblivion.
