Not always right
February 8th, 2008
The customer is not always right is a very funny website about customers that either make your blood boil, tickle your funny bone or leave you totally confused.
Not Always Right is about leveling the playing field for those of us who toil and sweat every day trying to juggle demanding customers and often unreasonable corporate expectations. At the end of the day, it’s about remembering that whether we’re a customer or an employee, we’re all human, foibles and all.
New Phone
February 6th, 2008********UPDATE********
I picked up my new phone yesterday, and the winner is…..
The Samsung G600, it felt better than the SE, the SE felt a bit ‘cheap’
The samsung on the other hand felt really solid and looks great ! It’s also a bit smaller. I got the chrome one;
********END UPDATE********
Tomorrow I can pick out a new phone for free ( when I extend my contract )
There should be a decent camera on the phone, that’s my main priority. I think i’ll have to choose one of these very nice cell phones.
Both have 5 megapixel cameras and about the same specs…
I think i’ll go with the Sony Ericsson because I had one before and think they just make great phones. The K850 also has 3G network support.
The Nokia N95 is also a nice gadget but vodafone ( my provider ) ask about 150 euros and that doesn’t fit into the budget right now
