As you might remember, a while ago I bought a Nokia E75.
In summary, its a rubbish device. It irritates me to no end, in spite of re-flashing it to not be a Vodacom-branded device. I updated firmware to 201.12.01, but this promised firmware update that solves all evils still doesn't fundamentally solve the major gripes; bad build quality, lethargic responsiveness and frequent "pauses".
Enough is enough.
So what I've decided to do is to go with the dreaded "two phone" model. I've gotten a Blackberry Bold 9000 to play with, and if I like it, I'll buy the updated 9700. This device will be used as the primary calling and e-mail device; something that Blackberry is apparently excellent at.
But its boring. And I (probably) won't learn anything. So I've also ordered a Motorola Milestone, otherwise known as the Droid in the US market. It looks hot!
- Runs Android
- Made by an old-school phone manufacturer who can't fail
- Has a keyboard
- Has a very cool multimedia docking station
- Is relatively cheap in ZA from Expansys
I know, two phones is dorky. But lets see how it goes. Anything beats my E75.
