Windows Mobile is, officially, a piece of crap
I don’t ask for much, I really don’t. All I wanted to do was to try out this Windows Mobile device.
Spur of the moment thing. I’ve been meaning to try it out for a while.
It is NOT
SODDING
DETECTING
THE
SODDING
SIM
SODDING
CARD
I’ve been playing around with it, putting the sim card again and restarting THREE times.
It still manages to tell me I’ve got one new voicemail, irrespective of whether the sim card is working. That’s obviously been programmed by a total arse. It even gives me the option to call up my voicemail. I don’t even have a working GSM connection! What a piece of crap.
The next arse thing. You click on the phone service bit and the message pops up ‘Insert Sim Card’.
I’ve been trying to get the sim to work for about 5-10 minutes, right? Just after I posted the last blog.
I started on 100% battery power.
I’m now on 97%.
How shit is that?
Well. Windows Mobile truly is a PIECE OF SHIT.
I can’t be bothered to even do a Google search to try and resolve whatever SODDING problem is causing the STOOOOOOOOOOOOPID device to arse up.
What does this have to do with windows mobile? it sounds like a hardware problem to me.

“Just try receiving email, opening an Excel spreadsheet, chatting to someone on MSN Messenger Mobile ”
can you even do these things on the nokia platform without some crap 3rd party tools. Nokias push email solution is a joke.
I would be greatful that someone would steal my N95 so i dont have to be seen carrying a ugly brick for a phone.
You sure can Craig — Agile Mobile and Good Mobile Messaging work brilliantly on Nokia platforms.
Posted by ewan on June 24th, 2007 at 2:46 am.no sorry Craig, but Windows Mobile is the biggest pile of bug ridden turd ever known to man.
If I could be arsed I would list 10 bugs in my old treo 750 that are things that have worked in all other phones since the day Bell first said “hello, I’m in the room next door”.
But Microsoft always play this game of re-inventing the wheel but convince the world that it should be square and then make us buy fixes and upgrades until eventually, by version 27 they have brought out a round wheel. By which time we are like the animals in Animal Farm saying “well I thought we used to have round wheels back before the pigs took over, but maybe we didn’t, maybe they were always square”.
It’s about time Microshite realised that they’ve been sussed.

Posted by steve procter on June 24th, 2007 at 5:24 am.After persisting for more than 6 months I ditched my Vario II this week as for a Nokia E61. There were just too many problems with windows mobile that made using it on a day to day basis a pain in the arse.
Now the Vario should have been a killer device - it had everything a boy could need and more. I wonder what it would have been like with a different OS?
So definitely agree with Ewan and Steve - do not even think about a Windows Mobile device.
You have been warned.
