stephen fry turns out to be an uber-gadget-freak. his first blog post
[1] is a detailed review of wannabe "iphone killers", and notes that
back when he was shooting "Wilde" in 1996 he was scolded for having a
nokia 9000 communicator sticking out of his pocket.

"I have never seen a SmartPhone I haven't bought", he says, and compares
windows mobile design to a 60s council flat: "Those behind Palm OS and
the Psion can justifiably be proud of what they did, what they created.
WinMob just muscled in on a market they never spotted and they did it in
a clumsy, bullying, ugly manner, exactly as they had with Windows
before".

i think, however, that i want a nokia n95. the iphone looks nice but
sucks on tech specs. the n95 isn't much bigger, looks quite nice too,
and has hi-res video camera, wifi, functional bluetooth (unlike the
iphone), java for client-side apps, and a built in gps with
navigation...
