[access-uk] Re: re owasys

Hi Ray,

Nothing to do with obsession in my case, it is simply too big for a trouser,
not jacket, pocket.  When I am at home, I like to carry the mobile around,
and I don't want a thing that looks like a remote control in my pocket, it
is simply too big, nothing more, nothing less.

All the best

Steve

OH dear!  I find this obsession with size so interesting, especially as its
the opposite of what the spammers keep telling me, (smile).

What I recall of the Oasis, it would certainly go in a jacket pocket.
The bloke I know who uses it does dress quite trad, but if you are the sort
that goes about in shirt sleeves and you are lucky enough to actually have a
pocket in your shirt, I suppose these latest must-haves will go in one of
those pockets.

In fact the size of the Oasis might in, err,  large partbe meant to be its
point:  i.e. room for keys you can feel more easily.

No, its relative lack of functionality, absence of a screen, and the price
go against it, but size?  Some of the millitary-style bags women carry
around with them would accomodate an Oasis, and a lot more!

Also find it funny the heroic lengths VI people are going to in accomodating
this post Walkman world we inhabit.  Given the trend in devices that'll need
a magnifying glass to find them soon, I wonder where peopple will end up
sticking these devices?  Not trying to invite rudeness there, (smile).  Just
amazed at the compulsion to be in the fashion mainstream!

Cheers,

From Ray

Hi Graham,

Problem I have with it, apart from the fact that it is too darned big,is the
speech is pretty poor for new users, and because there is no screen, it is
very difficult for sighted people to help you, if you come across a problem.
But the biggest problem is that the operators don't know about it.  So if
you have a problem with, say your Sim card, and you don't know whether it is
the phone or the card, your operator won't have a clue when you tell them
you have an Auasys.  Mainstream is always best in my view.

All the best

Steve

there have been a few firmware updates I think.  I know one person who has
one and is very satisfied with it.  This phone is all ready to go and it
does have its place but the design could be far better I would say.

Cheers
