Is it REALLY that bad?
Hey all.
So, I'm stuck with the flu, and my days are filled with boredom. So I thought I'd do a kind of "a day in the life of my phone" type diary thing where I document what I'm doing with my phone. With all the bad reviews of the N96 floating around, I just felt like defending this poor misunderstood beauty a bit... :) It's "crappy" and it has "abysmal" battery life and it just flat out "sucks" - that's the impression you get when you surf the web for a bit looking for information about the N96. While of course it isn't a perfect device, in my opinion it really doesn't deserve all the thumbs-down reviews it has gotten! ► 09:00 /// I wake up and unplug my fully charged N96 from the charger. ► 09:45 /// I make a call that lasts for 10 minutes and 52 seconds. ► 10:20 /// I compose and send two text messages. I connect to the web (Opera Mini) to check my mails for about 3 minutes. ► 10:45 /// I have received and read two text messages, and replied to one of them. ► 11:30 /// I make a call that lasts for 7 minutes and 9 seconds. ► 12:15 /// I connect the N96 to my laptop and install two N-Gage trial games. I then unplug the USB cable and toy around with the games for 25 minutes. ► 14:00 /// I watch two videos using CorePlayer, for a total playing time of 43 minutes and 19 seconds. ► 14:45 /// I compose two text messages and receive two replies. ► 16:35 /// I answer an incoming call that lasts for 3 minutes and 22 seconds. And again I check my gmail for about 3 minutes using Opera Mini. ► 17:50 /// I take 9 photos with the N96 camera. I also reply to a new text message and receive a reply. ► 19:10 /// Another incoming call, this one lasts for 9 minutes and 3 seconds. ► 20:30 /// I use Opera Mini to surf the web (wlan) for 30 minutes. Gmail, Facebook, three news sites and a few Google searches. ► 21:00 /// I make a call that lasts for 6 minutes and 37 seconds. ► 21:30 /// I have received an sms, I don't reply to it. I play a java game for 20 minutes. ► 22:10 /// I listen to music using the built-in speakers while I do the dishes and a bit of cleaning. Total playing time 52 minutes and 13 seconds. During this time I received 1 multimedia message and 1 text message. I reply to both of them. (MMS + SMS) ► 23:35 /// I uninstall some java games, then connect the N96 to my laptop to install 2 new ones. I unplug the USB cable and play the new games for a total of 22 minutes. ► 00:10 /// I use the Web Browser to connect to a wlan and watch videos on YouTube Mobile for 15 minutes. ► 01:00 /// I'm off to bed, and I still have 2 battery bars left on my N96. I don't know whether or not this qualifies as "heavy use" but I'd say it's definitely more than average use? Is this really that bad for a phone? I don't think so... Granted, I'm no expert but... Comments!

You ask: "Is it REALLY that bad?" I'd say nope... And neither is the flu you speak of by the sounds of it!
I think that you've just proved how infinitely more debilitating 'man-flu' is, compared to the female version... If I had flu, I'd have turned my phone off and hibernated for a few days, not answered it, texted and generally played around with it, etc. Let alone kept a log! I suspect that you're skiving!

A man with the flu is worse than a woman in labor.
 And yeah, I'd probably be composing multimedia messages while in labor too... AND keeping a log of everything that happens. "11:15, my water broke. Called for an ambulance. 4 battery bars left. Played Bounce Boing Voyage while I waited."
