S60 Open to new features

Tough weekend I had this week. I was at the store for about 15 minutes and some (fill in your own favorite nasty word here) broke into my car. This was not your high quality professional thief, mind you, but a rank amateur.

I felt I deserved better.

How did I know it was an amateur? He stole the faceplate from my car stereo, and then attacked the dashboard and the rest of the car stereo with a screwdriver - just digging and gouging in an attempt to dislodge the radio/cd/mp3 player. He never got the radio out, but took the useless faceplate anyway.

Sheesh! He destroyed the radio and jacked the dash enough to look pretty bad.

Then, he went into the center console. ;-(

This is where the story gets really ugly. (Those with small children may want to stop reading here. )

HE STOLE MY N95!!!!

You might ask, why did I leave it in the car? I've already beat myself up enough over that one, ok? Let's just say I did, and leave it at that. (it had to do with having no pockets in my running shorts and a bunch of other lame-o excuses no one really wants to hear...) But the bottom line is...

HE STOLE MY N95!!!!

It was the beginning of a holiday weekend here, and I couldn't get my SIM replaced or a new handset until Monday. ughhh.

So, I had another SIM and put it into a NON-S60 phone. I synced up my calendar and contacts, so I was at least able to make calls and remember commitments, but there was sooooo much I couldn't do. No Wi-Fi, no GPS, no S60 browser, a weak music player, minimal video options, and a VGA camera, for pete's sake!

All my great stuff I set up to post on Vox and Share on Ovi...gone. My Slingplayer...gone. My Facebook...gone. My Plazes...gone. More than one thing running at a time so I can switch back and forth...gone.

You know, you can start to take for granted all the functionality that is packed into S60 devices while you have one, but try giving it up for 4 days. It's truly a drag.
