Dear Nokia

October 9, 2008

My Nokia N82, the phone that I gave such a glowing review to a few months ago, is becoming an albatross around my neck. Let me count the ways:

  • Applications quit with no warning and no feedback to tell you what went wrong;
  • The phone has become increasingly sluggish of late and I can’t find a reason for it;
  • My phone company won’t give me an affordable data plan — unless I buy an iPhone;
  • Despite my best efforts, I still can’t post to this blog from my N82;

But the number one main reason is outlined in this photo.

nokia won't make mac software available - bastards

I don’t feel I can continue to justify this phone. I want to like it, I do, but right now I look at it and all I can see is unrealized potential.
