It's thought that Andrew was born with built-in Bluetooth. When he talks, radios make that strange buzzing sound usually associated with network interference and there are rumours that he has an alphanumeric keypad implanted in his back.

3GSM: Mobiles, mobiles, more mobiles
I've been at 3GSM for two whole days now and I'm starting to go a little mobile mad. I've been surviving on a diet of Twix bars and Diet Coke -- not something I'd recommend, but it does get you through the day.
I've seen more mobile phones, mobile content and accessories than I will probably see for the rest of the year. If it rings, then it's here. So far I've been most impressed by Polymer Vision's Readius rollable display that really does look like paper.
Other highlights have been Motorola's new bendy slider phone, Samsung's new kit, including the iPhone-lookalike, the F700, and HTC's Advantage, which takes the smart phone as close as possible to the edge of mobile/UMPC.
3GSM is definitely the place to be if you love mobiles and I'm looking forward to showing you more of the cool stuff from the show in the coming days.
