Exclamation Prepare for a stroppy thread...

...Sal's just updated the software on her phone and judging by the chuntering I'm guessing it's not going too well!

Bob, hiding behind his laptop screen!

just as well as you obviously do not have the technical ability nor nonce to handle such a phone. Stick with what you know and within your limts

FFS its a telephone !!! Do people take their toaster or iron out wherever they go in case they suddenly feel peckish or notice a crease that cant wait until they get back home ?

People are often amazed that I dont have, nor want, a mobile phone, particularly one that also doubles as a poor quality camera, rubbish mp3 player or PC.

I've got a phone at home, and one at work, and if I'm not at home or work, then I'm either driving, or somewhere else doing something where I dont want people contacting me with inane messages.

Personally I think theres a huge market for a company to bring out a mobile phone that is just a phone with nothing else on there, and when it rings it sounds like a telephone, not a tinny version of a chavs Corsa.

What operator are you with?

according to Nokia, the latest firmware has been in the phoned for the last 10

months!

btw check your satnav works!! its a known weakness on these phones,

mines duff, and my carrier is still bleating that software reflashes have fixed

it . oh and check the video camera isnt stuttering, they have a habit

of needing a power off / on cycle to reset the camera ;(

technology, dont you love it

I totally agree. It's the same thing with watches, people can't understand why I don't wear a watch! I hacve a clock on my computer in work, one in the car and I've also got one in my mobile phone which i carry everywhere with me

The iPhone handles multimedia better than most PC's.
