The latest in the line of casualties is the Nokia 6600, nifty little thing, if only the firmware were anything like stable, which it wasn't. To be honest the problems began on day one a few weeks back but I decided at that point I would persevere a while...I should have known better, perseverance never pays off where phone operating systems are involved. They either work or they don't and no amount of TLC will persuade them into appropriate behaviour!
So, today again I am sitting in again waiting for a courier to bring forth the next offering from my service provider, having once more spent half a day yesterday pointing out my consumer rights to O2's 'help' desk guys. Really, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't have to be a fight, they know the law as well as I do and life would be a whole lot simpler if they would just not try to pull the wool over the consumers eyes!This time I am going to give the Nokia N95 a try, I can't say it's a phone I would have chosen but it was the best that was on offer, I'm pretty half hearted about it all now and I chose it for one reason only, it was the highest spec/value my contract would allow so if I don't like it, it can go the 'eBay way' and at least I can get top dollar for it.
My old phone might not be all singing and dancing but at least it is stable. Life's to short for all this carry on!

You should be ok with that one, it's very popular amongst mobile techy folks who push it to it's limits. With it being an established model, everyone else will have suffered any seething problems for you.
Good luck!
Paul.
LBJ: That's my hope! Anything that falls to bits (as seemingly they all do from time to time) someone will have sussed it before me! ;o)
Oh rats! I guess they don't make phones like they used to.
N95s are cool, i had one until i stupidly upgraded to the tempermental N96. As LBJ said, techies push the N95 to its limits so it should work fine (and you can upgrade the software easily if it doesnt)
I've heard good things about the N95 - hope you get on with it ok. After all the hassles I had, I'm reasonably pleased with my Samsung Tocco. My contract's up for renewal in the summer - God only knows what will happen then! x
