ooh, just got a nokia 7210.. my old phone was stolen from my tent at the big chill.. the joke’s on the feef cos it didn’t have the sim in it and it’s a shitty siemens c45 that i’ve spent a year hating.. i should have got rid of it straight away but it usually takes some sort of external agency to prod me into action.. so fanks feef!
anyhow, very glad to be back in hands of finland’s favourite wellington boot manufacturer.. nokia make lovely fones and because they were originally designed for the stupid farmers of funland they are ever so simple to use.. my antediluvian 3210 was a piece of piss.. my new fone is 4,000 better so it ought to be a steaming pile of shit by comparison (if you follow my metaphor).. we don’t need no steekin manuel!
er, actually it’s got quite a few more whistles and bells, not quite 4,000 of them but a bewildering number.. so i had a quick peek in the manual.. i could not believe my eyes..
did you read the note? they had the same insightful advice at the top of each section.. apparently to able to see images on the screen or use any of the applications the phone has to be switched on.
who knew?
now I swear (and i have witnesses) that in my entire life i have only ever come across one person who wasn’t aware that computers have to be switched on for them to operate effectively.. worryingly this person was an IT professional at an investment bank! (It was a fairly mediocre investment bank but even so.)
what can nokia be thinking??
(*Claim: Ignorance is power Proof: GWB QED)
i’ve just emailed a boyfriend of an ex-girlfriend at Nokia to try find out.. but he won’t officially be able to tell me anything and i will probably have calmed down enough by the time i hear anyway not to bother with the mundane truth of our stupid world so don’t hold your breath.
and Don’t let me get started on the evil fuckers at Nestlè responsible for this..
