And one more thing - no doubt 8800 - is nothing when we see Serene. Serene is a masterpiece, may be not perfect or useful, and 8800 is just unfinished and ugly piece of metal.

@ori
So how on earth do you define a masterpiece then???
Just look at that IKEA bolt at the joint, how masterpiece is that on a scale?
Not that i am a 8800 worshipper, but there´s no doubt in my mind as to which one to pick out of those two.

perhaps they are hoping you wont want to do anything daft like make a phone call with your phone, more just stand around pretending to be at a star trek convention
