Why Steve’s phone is that popular
Found a nice blog post about why (in Norwegian):
Det er bedre med ett program i hånda, enn ti på taket
In short:
People are that stupid.
Now; don’t think I hate Steve’s phone. It is a sweet phone. And when the first one arrived the user interface was better than the rest, but it was no revolution. In my mind they just got to much credit for a ok phone.
And as of the date Desire and X10 got out, it is not even best on interface. A icon grid is not enough anymore.

Cell phones!
Of course my secound post, the first real post, was going to evolve around cell phones!
I have to say I’m quite into cell phones… As my “history” below shows I have never owned a Finish phone – which actually is an achievement in the Norwegian marked. The first one a MR1 I got in 96/97 or so, remember in the end a battery life of 5 minutes. A real portable phone, luckilythe charger was only the size of an shoe box. First real phone I have to say was the 388, and I’m still a Ericsson fan. My current device, the X1, is fare better than its reputation! If your tired of crappy touch keyboards, X1 hardware qwerty-board is just sweet. Its the only phone I actually answering emails with – yes, I have tried Steve’s phone.
