Mobile Phone Operating Systems: the laydown

What are the most common questions asked when a person buys a new phone?
“Does it have a touch screen?”
“How good is the camera?”
“Is it slim or bulky?”
The Operating System it has is a question rarely asked. Even when it is, it often figures at the bottom of the list. For a huge percentage of the general users, the phone’s Operating System plays little to no role in phone selection. It is simply not as big a decision as the selection of an Operating System for computers.

RIP N-Gage | Good job Nokia?

I have just been over to ovigaming.com, where they had this review on Powerboat challenge for the N-Gage. Their rating for the game? A dismal 48/100. After reading a comprehensive review, I am convinced that the author has written a genuine review rather than one based on emotion. Unfortunately, after my purchase of a Nokia 5800 XM, I no longer have an N-Gage to test it out personally. So I will take the author’s word for it when he says that the game is not fun.
