Some of you may remember I have been having to endure with a bunch of shitty mobile phones, simply because SONY Ericsson decided to have a mental attack and either take features out of phones that people would want … or simply make them so bloody uncomfortable to use, you’d rather rely on 2 tins with a piece of string attached.
Well after Nokia’s, iPhones, HTC, Samsung’s and pretty much everything inbetween, I finally got my hands on a SONY Ericsson that is half decent [the C905 if you really give a shit] and I can’t tell you how pleased it’s made me.
Of course being a moaning bastard not everything is perfect – and I hate to say it, but I’ve obviously got used to some of the NOKIA tools that I previously slagged off – however as much as this demonstrates that over time you can get used to pretty much anything, when a brand does stuff in a way that really works for you [as the SE navigation system does for me] you’ll hang in there because underneath it all, you know that’s the thing for you.
Saying that, I can’t work out why one of the manufacturers hasn’t set up a subsidiary that basically lets customers’ build-their-own-phone.
Unlike DELL it wouldn’t be a cheap option, it would be a premium service but I still think there’s enough sad bastards like me who’d use it and make it worth their while.
Anyway all this leaves me to say is that in a World where people dispose of things in the blink of an eye, maybe I’m the last brand loyalists on Earth – unless someone out there can tell me about a time where they went back to a brand even though they’d been making substandard products for a few years.
