A burst of inspiration today almost led to the creation of a blog to record my phone-rage since swapping a phone OS from Symbian to Windows Mobile. Alas my preferred title of "windowsmobileisapileof..." had already been used by several correspondents.
Ten years ago the Sony Ericsson P800 smartphone offered the freedom to gad about town with access to web; email; train times; diary and a phone. A couple of years on, it was followed by similar models including the P910. All were very functional but still ridiculous to use as such.
But Windows Mobile changed that not a lot. Today it offers access to the same web; email and all but still with yesterday's awkwardness and speed. What's changed is that more people now have it. What's nice is that more people have recognised that for doing almost everything in its feature list, Windows Mobile is a pile of do do.
Keep up the good work Android & Apple
