No Nokia

A couple of months ago I checked with Nokia here in Prague to find out when I could get an E90, which was scheduled for availability at the end of June. They told me it was delayed and wouldn’t be in stock until early July. I eagerly ordered one the first week of July and was told that I would receive it by the end of the week. Two weeks later, I was told to wait another week. Today our assistant called, and apparently I won’t be getting it until the end of August, and even that they can’t guarantee. I can’t complain too much since Nokia is, after all, rather new to this business of manufacturing consumer devices.

Meanwhile, I had a chance last week while in the States to play with the iPhone a bit and let me be the last blogger on earth to say that yes, it lives up to the hype. My old Nokia 6230i is still chugging along just fine, so at this point I’m thinking about giving the E90 a miss, holding out for a couple more months and making the Apple takeover of my digital lifestyle complete.

  1. Be sure to take OpenMoko (http://openmoko.com/) into consideration. The consumer version ought to be available in October and it will sport some very nice features. And it can copy/paste ;)
