iPhone- the end of the Nokia era


My gadgets: the new iPhone and old Nokia E60.

I bought my first iPhone recently, and the Yesss!!!-feeling I had resembles the one I had, when I got my first GSM-mobile, about 13 years ago, a Mobira Cityman. Produced by Nokia, a Finnish company that was (and maybe still is) world leader in mobile telephony, with Swedish Ericsson (you still remember this, once a world-famous brand?!). And that made Finland world famous, although Nokia was always regarded as a Japanese company.

Soon lots of companies followed Nokia, like Japanese gigants as Sony, then the Korean LG and Samsung, German Siemens, French Alcatel, US Motorola. But still, Nokia, like its models 2110 and 6110 remained the best phones the Earth has ever seen. Until dramatic drop in size of memory and micro-chips that lead to the era of smartphones, or actually small computers. And, in computer business, the flagship is Apple, that has the best operation system on Earth. And thus, it has the best smartphone. No?!

I have had an experience with Nokia's "smart" phones for years. And it has been a real pain in the ass. First, connecting Nokia to PC, and then to Mac, that has been a nightmare. And now, with iPhone, there is a device, that works seamlessly with my computer, and all other devices, like the headset. And it is beautiful, that is also important. And it WORKS, that can't be said about Nokia's devices. That act like PCs: sometimes collapse, and wind-up very-very slowly (even coffee doesn't help here!).

Telefon.See sõna ei kõla kuigi ilmekalt ja on üle maailma kättesaadav kõigile nagu prostituut.
Pajakas.Selles on juba ilmet ja omapära.Sõnast pajatama.
Sõna telefon asemel võiks kasutada sõna pajakas,lauatelefoni asemel laua pajakas,mobiiltelefoni asemel pöidla pajakas.
