Thinking : My Nokia e65 hurts me
Sat, May 17th, 2008
My unshaven facial hair snags in the keys during calls.
It’s also spontaneously stopped being able to roam. It drop outs. It randomly restarts. It drains batteries three times as fast as it used to. I assume these are symptoms of it trying to connect to the roaming partners network. It won’t manually connect either, although it does seem to see the roaming partner’s network.
This problem has exposed Three’s / 3’s / Hutchison’s Sydney coverage as being appalling. Their Indian call center’s have been very friendly but of little help to date. I’ve sent it off to be repaired – which was a huge inconvenience – but the problem was not fixed (at the time i just knew the batteries were being drained but didn’t know why)
I’m expecting them to fix this or replace the phone, when I finally get around to takeing it into one of their stores
Update: I’ve replaced this phone after sending it to be repaired twice for failing to roam, draining batteries & random rebooting. Replacement e65 works fine.

My Nokia E65 has also spontaneously stopped roaming. Very inconvenient when working in an area where it used to roam. And of course I keep forgetting and don’t have the backup phone on me. Does this mean I have to send it away to be repaired?
