In this weekend's chart-topping, blood-sucking hit Twilight, Edward and Bella share an affinity for each other — as well as technology, to my delight.
First we'll start with Bella, who is outfitted with a white Nokia 7360 (from the appropriately named L'amour collection). Bella, who we'd already seen as an iPod fan in the movie and in real life, also uses a (now) previous generation black MacBook (and weren't those Google searches about vampires in different cultures astoundingly robust? Hmmm . . . ).
To hear about Edward's tech preferences, just read more.
And then there's Edward. I was disappointed that his mind-reading abilities exempt him from being attached to a cell phone, but vindicated when I saw his room: Antique jukebox, speaker sound system and turntable, flat screen TV, and big, over-ear headphones. All the marks of a legitimate, brooding audiophile. I didn't spot a computer in his room, but he's far from a Luddite — I had another reason to swoon over him when he explained to Bella that he'd had an adrenaline rush: "You can Google it."
What did you think about the tech in Twilight (including the creepiest use of a video camera ever)?

I haven't seen the movie yet. I'm trying to wait til after I read the book (by then, it should be available on Netflix. lol). But, I just wanted to say that I loooooooove Nokia! &I have a 7360 in the original gold color. It's out of commission..but, it's still pretty to look at.
I love Nokia but I love my iPhone more!
1well i think that overall it worked. the iPod reference with Bella, well that's very in line with high school teenage angst...and the way that edward's room was - that kind of fit him really well - i was impressed with the flat screen and his music system layout.
2Bella used an old computer with dialup in the books. She also listened to CDs. As I read, I got the impression that Meyer wrote the first and second books before MP3s and other modern technology was in style. I'm glad the film updated things.
3First, I really loved the movie. The first time (midnight showing) eh, but the second time I really fell in love with it.
Edward's room was perfect. I felt that the gadgets he had were just right for him.
Bella - I'm glad they updated, but still was disappointed in her not having the dial-up from the book.
And I loved her cell phone.
4Ooh I'm lovin that Nokia phone!
5it was interesting updating bella, but it had to be done. even all her classmates had their ipods on them. *lol* edward's room was awesome.
6ChicBookFiend: Did you check the copyright date to see when the book was published? That would have been your hint as to when in the history of technology Twilight was written
I haven't seen the movie yet -- I don't like mobs, so I wait until a movie has been in the theater for a bit --
but I must share some info here: I MET Robert Pattinson at Planet Hollywood in Times Square, NYC about 10 days before the movie came out! I was one of the lucky Z100 (nyc radio station) winners to get invited to a private party w/ Robert while he put his hands in cement! Oh, so very cool -- and my 14 yr old daughter felt like she had died and gone to heaven! I must say, though, he looked almost as pale as in the movie posters/trailers! He had been wisked around NYC all day for interviews and tapings - so by the time he got to Planet Hollywood (about 6:30 pm) he looked pretty tired! He had on a knit cap, so we couldn't see those gorgeous locks! Amazingly he was very soft spoken & it was rather hard to hear everything he was saying. Definately a night to remember!
7Incase anyone was wondering, Edward's sunglasses are Ray Ban RB 2140 Wayfarer Sunglasses 901S ( http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfp/RayBan-tcqaoi/lb.html )
8Precious_Pets, as a writer I know that a book's publishing date doesn't mean the book was written that year. Sometimes it takes years for a book to get noticed by first a lit agent and then a publisher. For all we know, Twilight was written in the late 90s or very early 2000s. But only the author knows that for sure.
9ok so im completely convinced the white nokia 7360 does not exist! where do you get this phone?
10Yeah, I just called Nokia and was told it is not available in the us market and may never be. However, there are other blogs with Americans saying they have them and love them. Can it be used in America?
11you can find unlocked phones on ebay and stuff that work over here, but you have to make sure your network supports it.
12Yeah I found it online in several places. I just need to know what network will support it. I am currently with Verizon and they assure me that NO phone purchased outside of what they sell can be used. Any ideas? I know it works on frequencies that are used in the US the prob is just finding a carrier that will let me use that phone.
13Wow! I have to say that i am in love with that nokia 7360! I read some reviews on the phone and a lot of people said that it wasn't that good of a phone and it was basically only good for calling and texting. But i think it's a really cute phone and i would love to have one.
14Does anybody know where or how to get one or a phone like it? Anyone have any suggestions on phones like it?

23I wanted to see a post on Bella's friend Angela Weber's camera. She wasn't a photographer in the book but not matter I think they did well and I really liked the aesthetics of that camera. I heard it was a XViD-CAMERA? But I don't know if that's right or what it is, do you know GeekSugar?
24You can find the phone on ebay i recently bought one. Also, it is not white its amber gold. It works on att just insert your SIM card but call first to make sure they accept it.
