I will never buy a Nokia mobile phone again. For years I have purchased their phones and felt disappointment. Is that it? Is a common response I have had after opening the wrapping and switching it on.

Out of all my Nokia phones I have bought down the years I have only truly been satisfied once. If Nokia was a woman I would have left her years ago. For some reason however the brand has been with me longer than any women.

The advertising campaigns; the promises that this phone is better than the predecessors; the lies, in the end it’s the same story. I’m left wondering how I once again was duped into buying this faulty nonsense.

I now draw the line. My Nokia n96 will be that last in a long line of mobile phone disgraces that I have bought.

Initially the phone was brilliant. 5 Meg’ camera, 8 gig’ memory, all the latest phone features. I was in bliss until the common faults that haunt all Nokia’s appeared. The phone began switching off, charging when it wanted to, deleting numbers and the old Nokia favourite "unable to connect call".

I shouldn’t really blame Nokia though. It’s common knowledge that they release terrible ‘phones. It’s the individuals fault for buying it. I should actually be congratulating Nokia; they’ve been selling rubbish for years and managed to stay at the top of the mobile phone industry.

My next phone will most likely be an iPhone or a model similar to that. I’ve had an iPod for years and they don’t seem to break like a Nokia, so it’s worth the gamble.

Maybe if more people woke up and boycotted Nokia they might start releasing products that worked, in an attempt to win back customers. At the moment the fat and fed executives at the top don’t care what they sell as long as it sells. Goodbye Nokia.
