Sony Ericsson 850i

A while ago I posted on here about how annoying my phone is – http://richkeeble.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/i-hate-my-phone/

Well, the other day it just crashed completely, so I had to reinstall the software from their website. This was apparantly the same as sending it off for repair, and basically wiped everything that wasn’t on the sim or the memory card. As phones these days default to storing numbers on the phone memory instead of the sim it means that I have lost every number i’ve put in there since I got the damn thing last year, so if I don’t call you it’s probably to do with that. Or maybe I don’t like you. It’s hard to tell these days isn’t it.

Now I’m not the kind of guy who really cares that much about what kind of phone he’s got, as long as it doesn’t randomly turn itself off several times a week, send multiple blank texts to the first person in my address book when I speak on it because the touch sensitive buttons are where your ear is likely to touch them, randomly default to speaker phone when I answer it (particularly in quiet areas), or take photos that turn out completely black even when the flash is on. Therefore, the fact that my Sony Ericsson 850i does all of these things, as well as completely freezing up when it’s looking for signal so you can’t even use the camera to take a black photo, makes me want to use it as toilet paper, but then it would probably dial my boss while doing so.

Don’t get one. The only reason I’ve still got mine is that by the time I’d got used to it, I was too lazy to take advantage of my trial period and change it for something else. Lesson learned.
