When the only – and we mean the only, check out Wikipedia if you don’t believe us – current claim to celeb-fame you can make about where you live is that Mark Lawrenson was born there, you know things are rough. So it is for the people of Preston. But the time has come to rejoice! Sing from the rooftops, fair (or are you just pale and malnourished?) people of Preston, because now you can ditch that walrus-moustached goon and rally behind a new hero, the Samsung S5600, the only phone in known history named after a depressing northern town! Hurrah for bizarre decisions by Korean multi-national companies! Hurrah for random words being picked out of some book or other! Hurrah for Preston!

As Samsung’s official page shows, all you’ve got to rally behind is a slightly beefed up version of the Tocco Lite, but we think that’s good enough to celebrate (especially given the alternative). And as these Samsung Preston deals prove, you can only get the thing on Orange at first, but then at least that will match the colour of the faces of most of the women in your fair city. But as this Samsung Preston review shows, it really is a pretty decent phone indeed, so you can be at peace. Or you’ll be in peace at least until you watch the video below. Then you’ll be having weird scary nightmares for many months to come. Nightmares that seem to be blending all those scary memories of when you saw Silence of the Lambs for the first time, but this time the victim is a mobile phone. Oh er….
