did you know that caterpillar, the company known for making construction machinery, also makes cell phones?

@Felthry I mean, they put their branding on cell phones

@noiob they're unique models, probably made by someone else though yeah

it's not a case of just rebranded generic things though, they actually have them designed for use on construction sites, with stuff built in like a laser rangefinder, thermal camera, and air quality meter, not things you normally see on a cell phone
-F

@Felthry yeah they're pretty cool

I wouldn't wanna carry a phone that weighs about as much as all phones I ever owned combined but I'm sure there's people who like them

@noiob we would want one if they worked on our provider's network
-F

@noiob simlock? dunno what that is

i just know they aren't compatible with CDMA networks
-F

@Felthry oh

simlock is when you can only use a phone with a certain provider

@noiob oh they don't have that elsewhere?

you can get unlocked phones here too, they just cost more
