Microsoft mobiles spied online?

Hateful device

Fail. Seriously.

MS do make some good hardware but for the love of god they should just stop with the phones right now. Windows mobile is a slow and hateful experience to use and those phones are really ugly.

Duh!

Oh look, we should bring in some more legislation to protect the public from stupid people while at the same time putting the blame on something other than said stupid people.

Sat Nav is not dumbing down motorists; it is just giving stupid people undue confidence. Does anyone remember the images of cars getting washed away in a river? The driver actually said that the sat nav told them this was the right way - after they had driven down a boating launch ramp that was next to the main road bridge over the river.

I got a funny look in Halfords last year when I spend a reasonable sum of money on a very comprehensive map – in fact the salesman pointed out how cheap satnav was these days.

I still don’t own one.
