Samsung S5600 Preston. Better than peaches
Sometimes the names of things amuse us. Sony Ericsson’s constant use of names that sound like characters out of Lord of the Rings for example. Satio, hast thou seen the ring?! Aino, where have you been Aino, we though you were lost to Mordor forever! Others, like Nokia, just annoy us. Is that the 6700?Or the 6710? or the 6705? Ohhhh, it is the 6700, but they also had another phone also called the 6700 a few years ago, but we have to ignore that. Great, thanks.
Samsung though have taken a step into a whole new realm though with the Samsung S5600 Preston. Because, well, we don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this one. Preston? Is this like the mobile phone version of calling your kid after the place where you knocked your missus up by mistake, a la Brooklyn, a la Chelsea? Were a bunch of hardcore R&D geeks sat around a Travel Lodge on the outskirts of Preston when one of them suddenly shouted, “I know, we’ll just slightly re-jig the Tocco Lite, add some GPS and 3G, give it a silly name, then sit back and watch as millions and millions of people look for Samsung Preston deals.” Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Either way: Preston? SERIOUSLY?! Oh well. It’s better than Peaches I guess. Check out this Samsung Preston review if you want more than some spurious musings, or have a look at Samsung’s official page for, well, The official Samsung Page. Or – and we really, really don’t actually recommend this – watch this video of some sad goon unpacking his Preston for the first time. Disturbing stuff.
