No, it's 1973, right? :)
But seriously, am I the only one who finds the version number a little off-putting? It kind of makes me feel like I should go back to wearing tie-dye t-shirts and bell-bottom jeans before I consider getting one of these. And, somehow, I find myself expecting a large, heavy, immobile device with a rotary dial.

1973 Posted Aug 30, 2007 1:40 UTC (Thu) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] It's not a version number, it's a model number. It appears to be meant in homage to the year when the cellphone first appeared.
Today is a lot like 1973 in some other ways -- disastrous war based on lies, crooked president, crappy pop music, ugly shoes, expensive gas.

I do realize it's the model number, but I would probably have chosen something a little less similar to our current year numbering.
