I'm a very happy owner of the world's worst mobile - Nokia 5800 - a smart phone with absolutely no reliability.
So far it has helped me so much that, if I had my pockets full of pencils, I could eventually substitute them for the Nokia.
Here are some simple everyday situations where the frustration of having a nokia kicks in really fast:
Few days ago:
Situation: Must go from A to B by train.
Problem: Don't know when train comes.
Solution: Nokia 5800 web browser, train time table site.
Obstacle: "Memory Full. Please go and jump out of your window"
Solution II: Not using Nokia.
Two days ago:
Situation: Three electricity counter readings must be submitted.
Problem: No paper and no pen in pockets, only Nokia.
Solution: Take a photo, simple as that.
Obstacle: Tried to view the photo, but the media button randomly didn't work. Restarted and it works again. Now why would a media button randomly stop working??
Obstacle II: Phone is restarting for ages.
Solution II: Not using Nokia. Use -- paper!!, simple as that.
Some time ago:
Situation: Need to know what time is it.
Problem: No watch on my hand, only Nokia in pocket.
Solution: Unlock the keypad and see what time is it.
Obstacle: On sliding the touch lock the screen goes black and the phone starts to vibrate and does not stop, making me embarrassed to the people standing by, because now I have vibrating **bleep** in my hands!!!!
Solution II: Take out the battery, consider putting the phone in the trashbin, not using Nokia.
Ask what time is to the old lady while Nokia restarts as the old lady crosses the WHOLE COUNTRY!!
Not so long ago:
Situation: Must make an important phone call.
Problem: People don't make phone calls by brainwaves, now do they?
Obstacle:Made the phonecall, said "Hello" and <zappp>, no more phonecall, the phone randomly restarts. Now it never had been so bold before this.!! I thought it has a phone call protection against rebooting during a phonecall, but NOOOOO, it of course doesn't wooork.
Solution II:Not use Nokia.
Yesterday:
Situation: Insurance company must have sent me an invoice.
Problem: Out of curiosity can't resist checking email while mobile.
Solution: Open e-mail account, press the Connect button.
Obstacle: The Connect button does not respond.
Solution II: Press it harder, TWICE!!!!
Obstacle: The screen fades out and the phone restarts.
Solution III: Not use Nokia.
Before a week:
Situation: Must find an address I don't know, and reach it.
Problem: Don't know where it is.
Solution: Use Nokia Maps, oh excuse me, OVI maps.
Obstacle: The search returns no results. Now, how can you not find this??? Blahblah street 143 - what's there not to find??
Solution II: Not use Nokia, use Google Maps (definitely not on Nokia). Found it.!!
Long time ago, and guess why long... :
Situation: Let's enjoy some great music on this not-nokia-sony-ericsson Bluetooth headset by using the ultra-fabulous NokiaTrashPress XMusicPerience, it's supposed to be great, isn't it?
Solution: Pair Headset to Nokia 5800, and turn on the music player.
Success!! - it works ow wowowowowowowwowow i'm so freakin' excited.
Obstacle: The second track made no sound.
Solution II: Check what's wrong.
Obstacle II: The media player has shut down by itself.
Solution III: Not use Nokia!!!!!
And I could write many more of these..
Now, I have performed countless hard resets, trying to optimize every little bit. SOO little applications installed!!
Symbian platform brings a great idea within itself. But it just doesn't work on Nokia phones..
Didn't Nokia invent this Symbian? Then why doesn't it work???
And this has been so far my experience with any Nokia Symbian phone regardless of the price, regardless of the market segment, regardless of the phase of the moon.
And I am very suspicious that the same is going to be with Symbian^3 5 7 9 whatever...
I just don't care anymore...
My next cellphone budget goes to either Apple or Windows mobile, Android, HTC or anything else that's not Symbian and not even close to a NOKIA, because Nokia it's just a parody of a cell phone, no wonder why the USA and Japanese market doesn't love Nokia, not just because most of them are very ugly, just because they don't work....
