Samsung Needs To Hire Someone Else To Name Their Phones

If you couldn't tell from reading this blog (all 3 of you), I have a thing for cell phones.  As such, I find myself reading tech blogs pretty regularly to keep up to date on all the new phones about to hit the market.  Samsung, while generally good at putting out high quality phones, has a terrible track record when it comes to names.  Let's look at the past few names they've come up with for their handsets.
  • Moment
  • Mythic
  • Vibrant
  • Captivate
  • Fascinate
  • Galaxy
  • :-) <---- worse fucking one ever
I mean, really?  We're just yanking random words out of the dictionary and sticking them at the end?  No rhyme or reason at all?  Awesome marketing!
