== Inferior loaner items ==<br />
<br />
I have personally been the victim of a much-inferior mobile phone as a loaner. I owned a Nokia phone (probably a [[:wikipedia:List of Nokia products|Nokia 239]]) that was on the United States AMPS analog network around 1997, and broke the LCD display. I brought it in for service, and while they worked on it, they issued me a [[:wikipedia:MicroTAC|Motorola MicroTAC]] type phone, which was only slightly better than the original "brick phone" design. Due to delays in repair and distance from the shop itself, I probably used the loaner phone for longer than the phone which I had nominally purchased.

Seems related to [[3059]], same clipboard and everything. [[Special:Contributions/64.114.211.116|64.114.211.116]] 08:46, 10 January 2026 (UTC)<br />

Also related to [[3037]]. These three comics seem to form an arc.</div>2001:861:8AC3:FA50:AEAA:C2CE:FDEE:8131
