OK, my downer on Apple of recent might be a little uncalled for but even as a (very minor) shareholder I’m a little turned off at the moment.  Problems with the the latest operating systems for both desktop computers and servers, applications not being up to par, point releases coming in late and missing features and now the whole furor over the iPhone - sigh, bring me a cup of tea and a biscuit please - have made me feel a little lackadaisical towards the brand.

I do still love my iPone 1 and the latest software release has added utility and entertainment with the apps store but I’m not rushing out to get the new one.  So, I’m going on a little Apple/iPhone holiday.  As we’ve opened a new office over in London and because I’m from there I’m finding more and more excuses to jet across the Atlantic, so I’ve decided to get myself a second phone that I can plug a pay as you go sim card into and I’ve selected the well rates Nokia N-95.  Stacked with applications, 3.5G, GPS with Garmin Navigation and a whopping 5MegaPixel camera.  Most appropriate for a traveling man I reckon

If you think I’ve made a grave mistake, let me know and why.  I’ve really only skimmed over the reviews and I guess I’ll find out soon enough: the phone lands tomorrow!!
