The Anonymous Widower

Don’t buy a Nokia X6 if you’ve had a stroke!

I have one of these phones and for my situation, they are designed all wrong.

My biggest problem is that I have had a stroke and I drop things or knock them on the floor.  If I dropped my Nokia 6310i, it just carried on working.  The X6 falls apart and you need to reenter date and time. It is totally unfit for my purposes.

It is a bit of a pity really about this lack of robustness, as I liked a lot about the phone.

I have just phoned O2 and they have agreed to swap the phone for something hopefully more suitable.  So that at least is a positive thing and a couple of stars at least for O2.  But they are generally very good over the phone and I’ve stayed with they for nearly 20 years.

My Infuriating Nokia X6

It must be the name X6.  It’s the name of much disparaged BMW!

But it really is an infuriating device. 

Take today!  I’ve just uploaded a few albums from CDs so that I can play them if I get bored on the journey and need some music.  But can you do it by just clicking an album.  No!  You have to create a Playlist.  I don’t work that way.  I take the CD out of it;s box and put in the player.  Where is the equivalent?

As I learn more about this phone, I’ll return to it.
