I was very late to the smart-phone party, I didn’t even have a cell till the end of 2005. When the first iPhone was released in early 2007, it seemed as though they were about as essential as a wallet or pants. In fact, anybody I saw without one had a Nokia N95 in one hand and an 80GB iPod in the other. I decided not to jump on the bandwagon and I simply purchased an iPod Touch. Combined with my simpleton Nokia 6230i, they seemed to almost make up an iPhone. I was never really fond of the thought of using my phone as my MP3 player.

Then last year I receive a BlackBerry Bold 9000 for my birthday. While initially grateful, I was somewhat frustrated since buying a phone is like buying a pair of shoes; you have to be there yourself, taking a look at the range, doing the research and trying them on for size. I remember when I was young I got a pair of shoes for my birthday, but they were the wrong colour. Needless to say, it wasn’t a very happy day for me.

So there I was, thinking to myself not only do I have an awesome smart-phone, but one which projects a somewhat more sophisticated and professional image. I go about the standard routine, trialing all of the major features, until I start to come to a stark realization: this phone actually sucks, hard.
