[Going crazy...]

I've mentioned before that my current workplace does not allow camera phones. Currently, I'm using an old Nokia 6100 during work. There are three problems with this phone. First, I have to speak very loudly in order for the other party to hear me. Second, the speaker is kinda soft. Third, it is such an old phone.

I've been on the lookout for a non-camera phone since the day I started work. Preferably, something from Nokia, because that's the only brand of phone I've ever used and I don't feel like re-learning how to use a phone all over again. Also, it should ideally be running on the S40 platform. There are too many features on the S60 platform that I don't use. All I need are the calendar/to-do list functions, as well as your basic calls and SMS.

Currently, the only non-camera Nokia phone out in the market is the E51. It's running on the S60 platform. Newer Nokia phones have this Phone Sync function whereby you can sync the information in both phones. Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly between S40 and S60 phones because the calendars are slightly different.

So E51 doesn't fit my purpose. I found out about the Nokia 7070 recently. A really poorly designed phone, but it's a clam-shell (which is still my form-factor of choice) and it's running on S40! Since it's new, most likely it would have the Phone Sync function...

Actually no, it doesn't matter. No bluetooth. Can't sync.

*tears hair out at this point*




I ordered a book on Amazon CA a month ago, and it still isn't here yet. No way would it take that long to deliver a book. The estimated delivery date is Sept 15th, three months from the day I bought the book.

I heard that it doesn't matter which delivery option you choose. All packages get processed at the same time. Only, they leave the cheaper packages in the post-office instead of delivering them, so that you would pick a more expensive option next time.

Idiots.
