R.I.P. Mo - so what next

[revdkathy]

I've been thinking about a new phone for a few weeks, having realised that my n900 was having charging issues. They came to a head on Friday night when he was unable to charge. I removed the cable, and the usb socket came away with it. So that's that for Mo. I cried a little: I know he was only a piece of technology, but Mo introduced me to so many

As a next step after s2 you might consider Galaxy Note - bigger faster

I think the S2 is as big as I could possibly want to go. My hands are not that big! Besides, if I want big I have the flyer.

On the N900 front: contact Nokia now. The USB port falling off is a known manufacturing defect and should be repairable free of charge, plus most European N900s should still be under warranty.

On the what's next front: it's a tool, not a romantic partner. Figure out what you are going to use it for, and choose the device that does that best.

At over 2 years old, I seriously doubt that Nokia will give a damn.

As for the phone, I assure you I'm even choosier about romantic partners. ;-)

The things that pushed me over to the N9 was the carrier IQ scandal and an info graphic, Android Orphans, that shows how poor the android ecosystem has been at keeping their phones up to date.

I too wish it had a sd card, and I have occasionally found myself wishing for some apps on my N900 that people would show me on their androids or iphones. (and I expect that to continue.)

Now that I have the N9, it is pretty. swype is pretty neat, and I'm hoping that Mer or Cannonical will succeed on getting another actual debian-like OS shipped on a handset.
