iPhone Mania
Monday 25 June 2007 Filed in: Apple
What on earth else could you talk about but the iPhone this week? Apple's insane marketing campaign has created such a huge buzz around the product, and the nay-sayers have been doing their best to steal hits wherever possible. But a sign of rampant, insatiable, and entirely unheard-of hysteria for any product, never mind the fact it's for the iPhone, may well be upon us.
eBay has, for months, had links for iPhones that would be available. But now we go one better: the email address free_unlocked_apple_iphone@yahoo.com is being sold on eBay. Not even a case, iPhone or other accessory - a free Yahoo! email address. Somewhat more worrying is that it's actually selling, and currently going for $23.

The Fate of my Nokia [Contains Rude Words]
Friday 04 May 2007 Filed in: Technology
I have a love-hate relationship with my Nokia 6280. Well. I lie. Mostly a deep hatred relationship - except for the camera, which at 2MP is handy to have on me all the time. To date:
Someone else got kinda frustrated with their 6280 (Ondra) - and threw it against a wall. I salute you. My 6280 is already cowering with the fear of the iPhone's arrival already.
1It must be noted that I'm holding judgement on iPhone purely for contractual reasons - if the deal isn't right when the carrier's packages are announced, I'm honestly not sure what I'll do. Probably head back to Symbian. Symbian rocks.
- It refused to charge at random periods for a period of 4 months. Replacement charger has only delayed this happening again.
- It crashes. Like Windows Mobile. For no reason
- If you're lucky to get it charging, it'll crash when a phonecall comes in. But only after you've answered the god-damn call.
- It's a cheap, nasty handset. Feels horrible, the springs inside the slider are making funny sounds. For the first time ever, I'm glad I agreed to buy specific insurance for the handset from Vodafone. Never before has a phone felt to likely to break.
- I have yet to make a successful 3G video call. Not that I really need to, but it'd be nice if my 3G handset were to, y'know say actually work?
- Syncing. Sucks. The phone doesn't offer the ability to specify what each number is - Mobile, Office etc - until after you've saved them to the phone. And then you have to access it through way to many menus. Problem is, when it syncs, iSync simply puts numbers into a 'Other' category.
- The music player is all right, I guess. But so utterly primitive, that I can't believe they used it as a marketing point.
- I've been utterly disappointed that I've had to send it in for Firmware updates. Vodafone didn't do enough testing.
