Spillikins #4. Time for Nokia and…
Mobile-review have posted their 4th issue of Spillikins. Here, they discuss the Samsung F400, Nokia 6220 Classic, 6210 Navigator, Sony Ericsson C902 and W350. Here is the beginning of the article.
Have you ever noticed the times when life seems to throw things and events at you one wave after another? When it’s just about time to leave for vacation, out of nowhere, you get a boatload of work that needs to be done, but the bad news is that you’re not in the right mood to do it whatsoever. For me, this period (last month to be precise) has been marked by a multitude, a slew, call it however you please, of phones rushing into my hands; interestingly, all from one source. A couple of week ago Sony Ericsson kept me busy for a while, then I had my hands full again, courtesy of Samsung, and now a pile of boxes of Nokia-branded phones is by my door. So, to make things at least a bit less one-sided, I’m shuffling these bunches of handsets – let another round of spillikins begin.
Without further ado, straight to the chase – phones. Lots and lots of phones. Very different ones at that. To be precise, I have around two dozens of them, some of which haven’t been announced as yet. By the way, one of these “secret” handsets seems to have caught the fancy of my little daughter – she has already found out how to unlock the display and is happily tossing icons around the screen at the moment; and she is really into it. Truly, the future has “touchscreen” written all over it, no matter what you feel about them – kids dig them and soar through touchscreen-enabled phones after several minutes of hands-on, and then seem befuddled once they come across some handset that doesn’t have a touch-sensitive display. They don’t care about explanations, and prefer to feel offended about me giving them some “toys” instead of “real” phones that adults use. Well, there is probably one exception – music-minded phones, that’s where they like to have a music box with some keys under they fingertips (press and button, listen to a tune, move on).
