Black is Back

// August 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // Mobile Phones

How dearly I missed this black gem of mine which succumbed to the desert heat of Abu Dhabi some two months ago. The feeling of envy whenever I saw the same piece in someone else’s hand (and the feeling to grab it by force!) is now placated for sure.

The good guys at Nokia have replaced my faulty N95 8GB with a brand new one In this interim period, I used an N95 (borrowed from my dad) which is almost identical in functionalities, looks, size and weight but there is something about the black color which makes the latter version much more attractive.

I hope to stick with this handset for a much longer time than the previous one.

First Post Using N95

This turned out to be much easier than i thought. I tried the Nokia Lifeblog client earlier, which I managed to configure after some effort, but it’s limitations instantly turned me off. I’ll post a review on the available methods for mobile blogging in a couple of days. For now, I hope this post goes through to appear on my blog

N95 Goes in ICU !!

Just when I was blabbering about the lack of temperature sensor in cell phones, my N95 8gb succumbed to extreme heat, high humidity and started malfunctioning. The handheld device began to restart abruptly and most of the keys were performing all other functions than those which they were supposed to perform. Basically, it got screwed up.

Ironically, while riding outside earlier in the day I, along with my dad, spotted a new Nokia Care Center in Abu Dhabi. My dad immediately commented that now it’ll be easier to get the phone fixed if anything happens to it (never happened before!).

Anyway, knowing that my warranty card was lying comfortably in my closet in Karachi, I went to the new Nokia Care Center and to my utter surprise they verified that my phone is still under warranty using the IMEI number There were two phone doctors (the engineers, who were wearing lab coats) who gave the reasons for the phone’s malfunctioning. However, the phone will remain under doctor’s observation for the next weeks.

Luckily, I do have an older N95 to fall back on. It’s not black though
