WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: October 25, 2002 New Microsoft cell phone: Why I just love it! (ZDNet) -- "You shouldn't underestimate the importance of ease-of-use in these devices." (Comments: The one thing that bothers me about ZDNet, and CNET in general, is that they spend so much time talking about Microsoft. Too much attention for one company. Bah!)

The folks at the Register have rightfully slammed that blowhard Coursey for his glowing tribute to the phone when old Bill himself says they're way behind. What fun! Posted by: MadMan on October 26, 2002 04:23 AM
The Microsoft phones (Microphones?) handed out to journalists are riddled with bugs (apparently one shown on UK breakfast TV crashed within minutes). I think MS will struggle with reliability, people just want their phones to work, and the ones I've seen are ugly bricks. (I've gone with a Nokia 7650 instead, Symbian has been shown to be stable and Nokia are still kings of the mobile phone interface. No built-in Web browser, unfortunately, but I bought one for $10 that's just 47KB in size and have happily browsed WebWord with it. I'm not easily impressed, but I reckon it's lived up to its hype)
Ahhh yes ... sipping his coffee at Pacific Coffee in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong on a lazy Sat afternoon *sorry folks, just a bit of context there* I have been very pleased with the Treo phone/organiser package. Although having some trouble confuring GPRS to work with my provider after the upgrade. Posted by: daniel szuc on October 26, 2002 05:55 AM
"ZDNet columnist David Coursey, in a piece entitled New Microsoft cell phone: Why I just love it! , doesn't seem to have used it to make a call, or send a message - but he gives it a rave nonetheless." Ha ha ha... Thanks MadMan. Posted by: John S. Rhodes on October 26, 2002 09:41 AM
