    Did anyone see the new bond movie yet? I'm wondering if the Z really appears in it, for how long etc.

    I've seen the new Bond Film on the 31st of October :-D (UK)

    I don't remember laptops in it...

    Also I wasn't looking for any... Bond doesn't carry one around if I remember correctly...
    There is a Sony Erricson Mobile though.... Cybershot...
    (Couldn've missed it if it was in there though)

    In Casino Royale he had an SZ, so I guess it's possible.

    Do I recommend it - hmmm.
    I would say yes, even though there have been some negative revies.

    It more action than Casino Royale, maybe too much.
    Else: A continuation of Flemmings Bond - but with a more "personal Craig note" to it.
    Its really taste in the end...

    I love Bond, and of course I will see this one. In my opinion, the team is going to too much action, the newer trend. If they kept it sophisticated yet exciting as the older movies were, it would hold closer to the original aim. Pierce Brosnan as Bond did embody some of this, but Craig has fully embraced it. I can understand the need for marketing and such, but for those that follow the series and can recall that one scene...it hurts a bit.

    If I remember correctly Bond doesn't use alaptop.
    Although just thinking - I'm not sure if some of the "MI-6 staff" aren't using a UX....

    About the action:
    Casino Royale was possibly the perfect mix for a modern Bond - Quantum of Solace will have to many action scenes for some people.

    The SZ was in the first one, as were a camera and the HD-5 in the opening scene, the drawer.

    I think it's the Z - there's a special 007 edition being released, see Engadget.

    I don't remember Bond himself using a laptop, or a computer for that matter.

    Also: That the Z series is market as a limited 007 edition means nothing.

    Bond uses an Omega Seamaster - there are 2 limited editions out now though he didn't use that one.

    Interesting. Funny that anyone would be interested if it bears no actual relation to the film...
