It’s about time for another blog post, and since I do seem to have a slight affection for mobile phones, I thought about blogging on my latest acquisition: a Nokia 2700 Classic mobile phone I managed to buy in mint condition as a used device from eBay for a very small amount. I’ve used quite [...]

That’s it. I am going to sell my 6 month old Nokia E72 QWERTZ phone. Yes, it’s just a phone and “why should I read the following rant on Nokia”, you may be wondering. Here is why: 1. Flexibility I mentioned it earlier that I had bought a 2G iPhone some month ago, with a [...]

Dear Internet Diary, I’ve bought an iPhone today. A used 2G with a broken screen. It was (really) cheap, a spontaneous deal and I bought it because I want to enjoy some apps like this one – which will most probably never be available for Symbian S60 3rd. Heck, it was even cheaper than a [...]

A comment on CJs latest review of the Nokia E72 reminded me of something I had also observed on my phone: “a tiny creak in the lower bar below the spacebar”. A noise that irritates the user and shouldn’t be on a brand new phone. Since I had already opened it up the other day, [...]
