Ha ha. I thought the exact same thing. I think they should have spelled out “two” and it would have made more sense.

I get confused by headlines all the time and end up having to read the first paragraph to understand. I was confused too!

Headline-writing was the most painful part of my blessedly short-lived high school journalism career!

if it makes you feel better it took me about a full minute to put it all together — two TYPES of phones with the google crap in them. Imma dork.

Hahaa…I’m with Wendy…it seriously took me a good minute to figure out TWO types. Eh, I don’t keep up on technology.

I had to read that three times before it clicked. I think that counts as a typo on their part, not idiocy on ours. I hope.

Looks like the headline writer was pressed for space.

I was sitting here wondering why it was weird that you thought that wasn’t very many. I mean, TWO! That’s not very many at all. Then I figured it out.

We can be slow together.

Isn’t it amazing what turn of events can take place? Appreciate you letting your readers know about this.

Nobody knows how to right a proper headline these days… but then again it did suck me into reading it. What do I know.

I feel like a complete idiot, I had to look at the comments to understand what was going on. Maybe I’ll blame it on the “cluster headaches” I’m currently experiencing. Yeah – that sounds much better then I’m a complete moron.

Ha! Well they might not be too far off, Sarah! All the pundits seem to think they will sell a lot of these phones — the same pundits thought the iPhone would sink without a trace. So I’m gonna go with your instincts here!
