Goodbye Sony

[bellinghman]

Well, it looks like Sony has gone totally rogue: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4400148.stm. And I will not deal with a company that has gone that bad.

So, I will be looking for something other than the next generation of the P800/P900/P910 line for my phone upgrade.

And I will not buy a Vaio, despite being the coolest looking laptops out there.

And I will not be buying any Sony CDs.

And I hope that Sony will be up in court and fined for breaking the Computer Misuse laws. Because they need to be told that it isn't their customers who are the criminals, they are.

Sony laptops have all the build quality one would associate with Aiwa in the early 80s. Don't buy Sony, they're shit.

I recommend Motorola for mobile phones. I *heart* my V3, but I understand they do some pretty nifty smartphones too.

Are their user interfaces less shit than 5 years ago?

My v500 UI is pretty shite in terms of functionality TBH. The V3s I've seen seem to have the same UI. Ho hum.... If only Samsung could create a phone with a bettery life longer that 5 hours (i.e the phone I had with my last job, but one that lasts at least a full working day).
