Comments on: Goodbye LG, Hello Nokia http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2007/05/25/goodbye-lg-hello-nokia/ because technology is just another ecosystem Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:19:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul Cooper http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2007/05/25/goodbye-lg-hello-nokia/comment-page-1/#comment-93547 Paul Cooper Mon, 28 May 2007 23:33:39 +0000 http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2007/05/25/goodbye-lg-hello-nokia/#comment-93547 I have a N80, and had trouble getting it to dial up via bluetooth (despite success with other phones I've had). After spending too much time trying to debug I gave up and found / hacked pppd scripts to dial up via the usb connection (you did get a usb data connector in the box right?). Unfortunately I left my laptops power supply in the office, so it's dead now, but I can send them if you're interested (ping me tomorrow if I forget). My biggest complaint with the N80 is cruddy battery life and that it doesn't come with a usb charging cable - why have separate usb data and charging cables (other than forcing my to buy the damn thing). The absolute killer feature of the RAZR, apart from being so svelte, was that it charged from standard mini-USB - I don't understand why all phones & devices don't do the same.

I hoped it would at least make a good snapshot camera as my first megapixel Olympus digital camera was. Alas, it doesn't really even do that, especially in anything but the brightest light. Better than nothing but I was really hoping that it would replace a separate camera for casual snapshots.
