Broken dreams, wasted promises...

I broke my E90 Nokia smart phone. I really used my E90 a lot. I searched for information on the web with it nearly every day, I called and sent SMS with it every day and at least once a week I needed the GPS. The calendar was synched and my life was organized based on the information on it. Let me say that again. My life was organized.
So here's what happened...

I wanted to upgrade the E90 firmware to a newer version since they promised better GPS reception and more stable and faster Symbian. The Nokia Ovi Suite is not nearly as intuitive and fast as it should be so it took me forever to get backups from the phone and then finally start the firmware upgrade process.  So the firmware update was going well while I was watching a movie aaand then the computer crashed. And so did my organized life.

Firmware upgrades are an interesting thing.. There is a reason why its usually best done in a manufacturer store: You can break your phone if you don't know what you are doing. I did know what I was doing, but my computer disagreed with me and here we are. My awesome smartphone is dead in the water. I suppose this came as a blessing really, since I wanted a new phone anyway, but this makes the transition a bit awkward.

Tomorrow I'll take it to a Nokia shop and ask them to take a look at it, because maybe it can still be saved, who knows? Otherwise at least they can write an explanation to the insurance company of how it's broken, maybe I can get something from my home insurance? *sigh*
