And god, he would put a 100% rose filter on all of his selfies if he had the ability to take them.]
This is incredible. Perhaps I shall have to look into creating something like this in Auldrant.
[Time for Dist to go back home and invent smartphones I guess. He just needs to get past that pesky Seventh Fonon problem...
Anyway, he gets up to bring the GHS back to Rideaux. Probably for the best to let him demonstrate rather than poking through his stuff. You know, just because of how Rideaux tends to be.]
How do the other functions that you spoke of work, then?
[ Actually why am I talking like Beauty Cam and Line Camera existed on flip phones, he probably just took a picture of a printout from a purikura booth. I just gave GHS technology an upgrade, I guess. ]
For voice calls, there's a speaker up here at the top and a microphone down here, so you can just hold it next to your ear to speak to someone and hear them at the same time.
[ Pointing both of these out... Then he moves the phone slightly out of view for a second to put in his passcode. And we're in. ]
Each person's device has a specific series of numbers that you input in order to connect with it, which you can save in your contact list.
[ Which he will quickly scroll through. There are... a ton of numbers in here, but some select notable entries, in alphabetical order: Bisley K Bakur Film Noir Ivar Jolyne Ludger Kresnik Marksburg inn rd/NI Scheduler Vera Verland Bank z Asshole ]
You would send a text to a number the same way, you'd just pick the messaging option instead.
[ Opens up texts...
There's an unread one from Bisley K Bakur that he pauses at momentarily and then deliberately ignores. He opens up the one below it from Ivar instead, which shows the following heartfelt conversation:
I: They're on their way sir I: Are you almost done in there R: shut up ]
And you enter the words with the buttons here.
[ Quickly types "Sample Text" using the keypad. ]

[It's fine, he has an advance model just because he's That Important.
Dist watches attentively, internally jotting down notes to think about later. This is all very fascinating...though he wonders who got the dubious honor of being labeled "Asshole".
(this implies that Jade wouldn't block him on sight, but he'd totally have something similar for his label)]
Thank you for the demonstration. It really is a remarkable piece of technology. I must begrudgingly admit that I am rather envious!
[ It is actually very weird that more people haven't heard him complain about Julius here, come to think of it. ]
A decade, give or take. Another department of the company I work for developed them, actually, so we're usually among the first to get to try out any new models.
