New phone, not happy.

So I’ve been given this new mobile phone from work. It’s this long slim Nokia. I didn’t want it, but there you go….

Now the first thing I don’t like is the operating system, I’d grown used to Sony, this feels strange. If the manufacturers want you to switch, I wonder how they could ease this transition.

But what I really don’t like is the way it FEELS. It’s too thin, too insipid, to insubstantial. I wonder how useful marketing phones could focus on how they feel rather than how they look.  A bit like the way you pick up and feel lots of pebbles for skimming before you decide on one that feels OK.

And while I’m at it, I always drop mine, rubber to help me grip it would be nice.

    You only get away with me not slagging you off about this because you didn’t take the piss when I complained about my Nokia N95 versus my Sony Ercisson.
    You do get used to it, but you also find yourself harbouring thoughts of love for little things that Nokia – the supposed “communication simplicity” company – have failed to realise as important.

    The size and tactility of mobile phones is, I think, a very important factor when it comes to choice of phone. For so long we’ve wanted smaller – but now people want something they can use that feels important. They all pretty much have the same gubbins inside but it’s how they feel that’s important.
    Oh and I love this:
