As I have some free time I thought I would raid the blog and post some more, this time being a Sony Ericsson rant and some cat related fun and if Co-Brewer-In-Chief Nick turns up later, more beer related antics!

Lets start with one cute cat, that is Eskimo!

So whats this about Sony Ericsson? I currently use a P990i (along with another phone, again SE – W800i) and the history of the handset is quite confused. It was originally announced in 1963 as a whizzbang top notch PDA-cum-Phone that will do everything. Eventually when it was released on networks around Christmas 2006 it did none of the above however it was top of the class in crashing. Not to worry says Sony Ericsson, download updates via our impressive sounding ZEUS system and we will fix up all the bugs and make the phone better and better. Fair enough, it is worth a punt as there is nothing on the market (at the time) that was doing similar. In June 2007 Sony Ericsson announced they would not be doing more software updates, rather focus on the new P1i handset as that has the hardware to cope with their crap code.

Sony Ericsson have since backtracked and said they will continue to offer updates until all bugs are resolved, however with the speed of the releases it seems it is just releasing the P1i firware (as all based off the same core firmware) due to the media pressure. This customer respect verges on nil.

If anyone wants to buy one unlocked P990i drop me an email, or a locked one to Orange (as they are idiotic enough not to reclaim upgrades in under 6 months) let me know. It pains me to say it, but it seems Nokia is the way forward and Sony Ericsson are losing the plot quicker than Arfur Fowler did.

Anyway – onwards with the cats! Or should I say “Oh My Dog, Oh Long John, Oh Long Johnson, Oh Don Piano, Why Eyes Ya!” ? Pure gold.
