Insert Clever Title Here

Ok, have phoned Chadstone Vodafone to ask them to make sure that they have a phone in stock for tomorrow as it is the soonest we can get in to swap the phone.  However they can not guarantee they will have one in stock!

They have some (but will not say how many, and will not put one on hold for even 24 hours as ours is technically DOA!)

We are heading to a big fail, unless they just swap the phone out tomorrow I will not be happy.   I think part of the issue comes from the fact I know more than the sales people about the phones

The catch is they were doing very well up until this point.  We walked past the shop on Saturday saw they had the advertising and asked about the phone.  The guy went out the back, unboxed a phone and brought it out with a battery and it fired up.  All in 5 min, very slick. Thus why we brought it then and ther.  We had tried to see the phone a month earlier at Organiser World in the city.  They brought out the box and said see this is the phone…  thus they missed ou on the sale that vodafone got:-)

Will keep you updated

Well tonight I was going to write an entry on my N78 that was purchased yesterday…  but there is a small issue..

The camera button doesn’t work on it :-(..  So off to vodafone tomorrow and try and get it sorted.

Couple of quick observations.

Observations on the device. I like my N95’s screen, and the n78 is much smaller, and the keypad does some getting use to. The GPS in side by side driving tests was fine, the FM transmitter is a great feature, the head phone jack at the top is also very nice.

Seriously turning a phone on, then setting up the software, then getting the software to update, then getting that software to update, then installing newer firmware.  To complicated.  Apple and Nokia are both the same in this.  It is a phone, but the underlying structures have a long way to go before it is all seamless.

If you want an entry level device to the N-series range do consider it…(pending how long it takes to get the camera button sorted that is)

“About Nokia Email service

Nokia Email service automatically delivers email from your current email address to your Nokia device.

You do not have to change your email address.

Nokia Email service enables you to do the following on your Nokia device:

• View, respond, forward, compose and delete emails
• Manage your email inbox, outbox, drafts, and sent folders”

Thoughts so far it is a 1.6 meg download once you give Nokia all your details and first born.  However it never asked me where to install.  Granted I did say I have a N95, not the N958gb but that is only because the 8gb was not an option.

Phones list currently is, E51, E61, E65, E66, E71, E9,0 N73, N80, N81, N95 plus I am sure all the variations there is of each of these model numbers

But the joy is it works.  My email is on my phone.  Yet another reason to leave the umpc behind and get a bluetooth keyboard.

it is nicely laid out and it just plain works.  Good on you Nokia.

Nokia betalabs now has comments up as well…

Here is today’s commute to work…  this time we were one car back at the railway crossing, so I decided to film people driving through the flashing lights…

And still have not heard back from “The Leader” yet either

and some one posted a comment as to who cares..

I’ll leave it to Top Gear to show you what happens when you don’t care.
