Windows Mobile and my $%"# Phone the g%$ damn piece of...
-
So ive been a Nokia and Symbian user for years, Nokia has always been the best,stylish, reliabe, user friendly and on and on.. now about 2 years ago I moved my entire life (calendar, contact, email, work email) onto one device, onto the Nokia N95 8GB, I didnt go for the Iphone due to travelling for work the cool camera and all that I mentioned in the first statement. However I did start to notice a few dents in the Nokia amour, never the less still a great phone. I then got the Nokia N96 and it all went down hill, unreliable, email would not work. no more! I swithced to a HTC phone with windows mobile, great something my email will really work with well. Less then 2 weeks the phone was dying, nothing worked. switched to another HTC with windows mobile, this time had the phone for 4 weeks, it was so slow, is it me or have all phone makers packed in the tools put left out the processing power???!! I then heard good things about the HP Data Messenger, heck its HP! So I bought it, first 2 months best phone I have ever had, but I did notice that the battery would only last a day, oh well I do use it a shed ill just get the bigger battery. So I spent the $50 getting the bigger battery, great phone now can last between 2 - 3 days. then it went all down hill (again). It started about 3 weeks ago when I was going on vacation, my phone like alot of people is my alarm, alarm set for 4am to get ready and head for the airport, 5am a knock at the door lucky my dad was driving us to the airport, %$*"* phone. (phone swithced it self off) over the last 3 weeks the battery seems to last about a day, phone is slow. today arrive late in the office, woke up at 5am this morning looked at the time on the phone (phone plugged into the charger) great still got an hour sleep before alarm goes off, 7am woke up phone dead, major £*%£)%£%&£)£)%£!"!"£$"%" p%£$" off.

Use an inexpensive mobile phone and a diary/address book updated by using a pencil.

I never had any success with N-series, every one I tried was a buggy, unresponsive turd (S60 firmware was it?). Their lower end ones are fine, nice and speedy, nowhere near as buggy, running S30/40 I think, can't quite remember. Sony Ericsson's fw is worse though, though responsive (mostly), they have a tendency to crash/restart themselves in an idle state. My only experience with WinMo was with the original Orange SPV, which was cack, but understandably so, it was pretty advanced in terms of software features for it's time. The iPhone so far has been a pleasure.

I've had the Samsung Omnia now for a few months. Winmo, good camera, good battery life, touchscreen, onscreen mouse pointer. I've been pretty happy with it. And hey, it's alarm works. If you're going to brave the waters again you might give it a look.
I second that. The Omnia is not a bad phone at all.

I'v had to return mine to the shop 10days after I bought it :sigh: Worked slow Wifi didn't work Shortcuts (the buttons on the right) didn't work It's been send in for repairs, I guess I have to wait and see if it helped (9 days to go untill I get it back ;p )

I gotta say the first thing I did was rip out Samsung's UI software and replace it with the spb mobile shell.[^] Much snappier interface. Samsung's UI software was just horrible. The Spb shell blows it out of the water. You might give it a look when your phone returns from the ether.

Thanks for the link. Does installing this shell dump your mobile office apps ?

Wow. That's crazy. I suggest you get an alarm clock, a net book and a cheap phone. I use my phone to call people and send an occasional text. That's about it.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

The hardest thing is buying a phone that is well ... just a phone. If I am really bored I wander into a phone shop and tell the salesperson I want phone, just a phone, you send/receive calls. Pisses them off no end. I'll stick to my old razor.
