Oh I give up. As soon as I disagree with a
'regular' I'm classed as
being aggressive. Get a life. Not everyone
here
kisses the asses of
moderators/regulars and agrees with everything
they say. Apart from this
email here which is clearly aggressive, how
have
any of previous emails
on this subject been anywhere near
aggressive?
Exactly my point. Someone disagrees
and
you present a balanced argument, BUT in such an aggressive manner as to put
people’s
backs up. You treat me like an idiot which I’m clearly not.
Also, "arrogance of youff"? What if
I
were to say 'ignorance of the
disabled' or 'stupidity of Germans'? Don't be
so
rude and narrow-minded
as to dismiss someone's views because of the
group
they belong to. It's
not big and it certainly isn't
clever.
Young people as a group tend to be
arrogant because they have not yet seen enough of life to know any better.
I
thought I knew everything when I was 14, then 16 then 18 then 21 etc etc,
and I
think most people when they hit mid-20s or so tend to start to be far more
honest with themselves about their own limitations. I won’t even
bother
to comment on the other two groups, though I feel more than adequately
qualified in both examples.
The 7650 runs a Symbian OS which, surprise
surprise, will also be
present on the Sony Ericsson P800. For you to
say
that Nokia have
produced something that is "vastly
superior
to anything that Ericsson or
Motorola ever have or will produce" is
laughable. Not only did Nokia NOT
produce the software entirely that same
software
will be available on
the Sony
Ericsson!
I was trying to make a point regarding
the
T68i which you seem to champion, which has laughable software. Do you
really
think that I hold the opinion that Ericsson or Motorola will never produce
a decent
phone.
Have you actually seen the image quality of
the
7650? It is useless and
your example users surveyors, estate agents
and
architects would have a
really time getting anything useful from it.
Here
is an example:
Unfortunately I can’t borrow one
this weekend to post numerous photos which would be fine for the purposes I
described, because they are hard launching the phone. I’ll try to get
one
next week, then you can compare it with a number of online estate
agent’s
photos, and eat your words. If you actually read my messages rather than
scoffing at them you’ll see that I had one for a
day.
Also, your example of teenagers is also
laughable. In a year's time when
phones with cameras are cheap then yes, they
will
use it. But only rich
teenagers can afford a phone that is £450
offline.
Why would they buy it offline? You can
get
it for around 100 quid on a contract. I know lots of teenagers that would
be
prepared to spend birthday money etc to have the latest
gadget.
The Nokia 7650 is a great concept with crap
execution, but you expect
that with a 'first' in technology. Once they
become smaller and the
image quality is better than that will be
great.
But as it stands the
phone is about as much use as a chocolate
teapot.
What's the point anyway? I'm probably going to
be
banned for daring to
disagree with Timothy. Meh. See you later boys
and
girls.
