I'm back on the grid again with a new phone I've laid my grubby little hands on whilst in Bangkok!
Plain as Jane.(No offense to you Jane.)
But slim as a supermodel!
Other than the fact that it's remarkably thin and reasonably light, the phone really grinds my gears.
How about I start from the fact that the default language it comes in is Thai (Wow why are you not supprised.) and I had to spent like a quarter of a day just to hit the right combinations of apparent gibberish to switch it over to English mode.
Serves me right for buying a piece techno crap from some other country, especially one that speaks a whole different language than the ones mine does eh?
Oh and did I mention how laggy it is? A minor demonstration of its processing speed (Or lack of in this case.) would be that I had to wait for nearly three seconds just to unlock the keypad! THREE FUCKING SECONDS! Seriously what is the world coming to when a man have to wait that long just to unlock his keypad?
And for kickers, the user interface is totally messed up. Can anyone explain to me why do I need to press that many a times just to get to my own freaking inbox! Why can't Samsung get its act together or just pilfer the entire setup from Nokia or Sony Erricson?
Jeez. Using the darn thing sends me into a series of fits.
Oh well. Better to die at an early age from all that excessive exasperation and stay connected than live longer as a recluse who's dissimilated from the rest of the civilised world.
