Ordinary Gweilo

What is it with people who design upgrades to software?

I was prompted to ”upgrade” my Nokia PC Suite to Ovi.  This brilliantly designed piece of software thinks that I want to copy all the music and podcasts from my PC to my mobile phone.  I don’t.  And there isn’t space.

Never mind, it just goes ahead and tries to use up all the space that is available.  Then the phone displays dozens of messages telling me that there is no space.  Well, thanks for that.

The only solution I could find was to delete most of the podcasts off the phone (to create some space) and then manually remove a lot of the music from the Ovi desktop software.  Eventually it was able to synchronize.  What a mess.

What were they thinking?
