This phone does way more than I actually care to grasp ... like, ya know, mainly I JUST want a phone - but, for all the cool things it does, what's it missing? |

Recently, here in the UK, we entered into British Summer Time (that's prob called Daylight Savings for the rest of the world) and thus, personally, a reduction in my own clinical depression ... yet, this wonderful gadget didn't know that we'd changed our clocks [!!!] - and I have to adjust the time myself [even more !!!!!!!!!!!]
Now, I'm not [that] lazy!, but I kinda expect our modern phone wonders to be able to do this for me automagically. Am I being absurd, am I expecting too much from a gadget that [AT LAST!] syncs with Outlook, charges from a USB slot, and that plays The Philosopher's Song as its ringtone :-) ????
What makes this worse [a double wammy if you will] is that I'm about to go on a jolly to Malta for a couple of weeks [you must understand that this is heady stuff - and that no Blue Lagoon will be involved!] - and, guess what - I'll have to adjust the time - again, both there, and when I get back to the UK of course.
Now, surely [I mean, my 6 year old VCR does this shit!] the various phone companies could [probably do?] broadcast the current [UST] time - and, surely, I should be able to say to my phone "I want GMT" - or, better still, "I want LOCAL time" [no matter what it is]. And, the phone should know what UST is, and then adjust to what I WANT- it's as simple as that Well, you'd think!
You know what else these phones should do? When you drop out [we're all too tolerant of that!], the phone - or the phone company - should know where that happened and do two things.
A) refund you the call charge. B) look into strengthening it's coverage in that area!!!! |
