...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!

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.
