Nokia software self-destruction.
There is no word for 'test' in Finnish
I connected my phone to my PC to download some pictures. When I fire up Nokia PC Suite, it offers to download and install the latest version. 'OK', I click. Idiot. Nokia software conforms to no known interface standards, regularly fails to identify my phone, and frequently gets confused about what data is new and what should be deleted.
The package downloads in seconds (I love iinet), and starts the install. Halfway through, it detects a corrupted datafile. This is probably because of the dodgy wifi driver on my laptop. I hate Dell. So, the package uninstalls itself. Neatly, perfectly, impressively and completely. Taking with it, of course, the old, perfectly working version.
Well done, chaps.
