A friend was kind enough to lend me one of the hottest mobile phones on the market right now, a Nokia N95. While I am not the most geeky person on the planet, I certainly do like my toys, so I could hardly wait to test all the great new things. To make it short, the wifi and web browser feature is the one I use the most by far – nothing goes over being able to check the newest conspiracy websites before even getting out of bed. The most disappointing feature so far is the gps module which I cannot seem to get to work at all. All in all I am quite happy, but I would not suggest this phone to my dad, there are too many buttons, to many levels of applications, and it crashes way too often. Maybe because I use lots of things, but the browser should not crash, or the wifi not connect, or not disconnect for that matter. The other week I re-installed the OS 3 times because it would now connect. Why it works now again I don’t know either.
A colleague warned me of switching phones shortly before an important event such as the birth of my son, and I ignored him. The result is that the notes I wrote during labour are now lost forever because I made a mistake with the new phone. Makes me think again of starting this backup-company, giving people some easy means to make sure their digital stuff does not disappear with the first hard disk crash, lost phone, or other calamity. Anyone willing to join me?
