It's obvious that it's aimed at women, but did they really have to shape 
it like a sanitary towel? Also, the shape is useless to do anything like 
watching videos or photos.

But more than anything else, because it's Nokia, it's bound to come with 
all sorts of rubbish software and monikers like "Ovi" that nobody cares 
about.

Looking back to May 2010, when I got my Nokia E72, I still think it was 
a nice phone for its time, although it was already lagging behind. But 
the software has always irked me. Nokia Maps is brilliant, but not 
enough to warrant buying a new Nokia. And when I was playing with a 
Nokia X7, or something of the sort, it would show a busy pointer every 
time you touched the screen.

Compare that to the Android phone I got now... OK, so probably it has 
more computing power than my previous PC, but even though Android feels 
a little rougher around the edges than iOS, it's also more... exciting, 
perhaps, not so stuck in predictable patterns as Apple's offering.

But when you compare Samsung;s Kies to Nokia's Ovi Suite (or Nokia 
Suite, these days), the former does just what you want, whereas the 
latter tries to shove their bloody shop down your throat.

In case there's any doubt, I'm no longer a Nokia fan. I'll stop ranting 
now and crawl back under my over-heated limestone rock. :)

iPad. It's a lovely thing - but why no 'delete' key?
