Every time I advertise for staff, I’m amazed at how few people actually read the job description before applying. My business is looking for a technical support person, and the description includes an attention-to-detail test at the bottom. So far, only one applicant out of 17 has passed that first test.

A flawed 3G Wonderland
OK folks, an update on my continuing saga to join the wonderful Digital 3G Wonderland… now that I’ve overcome my indecision about network choice, my fears about the Nokia N80’s battery life, my frustration with poorly-chosen web addresses and the annoyance at Vodafone’s crappy telephone etiquette.
I have finally bought a Nokia N80 outright, and plugged it into Vodafone‘s network. Here’s my thoughts so far — after a couple bottles of sauvignon blanc over dinner and a random play with the technology.
- I am very happy with the friendly service of Computer World, where I bought the phone.
- I am thoroughly pissed off that — despite being bought from an independent vendor — the N80 is pre-loaded with Telstra BigPond settings. Now I’m spending two hours removing the BigPond configuration and connecting it back to Vodafone. Not pleased. Even the “Music” button takes me to BigPond Music!
- The case feels a little flimsy — will this phone cope with day-to-day wear and tear?
- The high-resolution screen is very nice.
What Comms? Part 3: Arrrrrrrrrgghhh!
Vodafone, if you want customers, why hang up on them? That’s just rude. Are you trying to drive me back to Telstra? Your robot-like email I could live with, that’s just the usual big-business robot-like thing. But why be rude?
