Blackberry bold - first one didn't allow me to hear the caller. Screen has touch screen capability but is too small to use. Keyboard is too small to use. It is very difficult to type numbers because you have to use a modifier key. Operating system and applications are cheap nasty and unusable.
HP laptop. Somebody thought it was a good idea to integrated a vertical row of function buttons to the right of the keyboard. Ina use of the enter key means that the cursor jumps around unpredictably turning typing into drudge. Half my attention has to be given to making sure that the document is properly typed rather than concentrating solely on the complex content of technical documents. The laptop is heavy but fragile and I have already had one fail.
Windows 7. Somebody though it would be a very bright idea to add task bars that reduce the usable vertical height of the screen. The task bar/ribbon at the top changes perpetually in an attempt to provide contextual information. This might work if the machine was clever enough to understand how I work but it doesn't. Using the interface then becomes an unpleasant drudge and much of my valuable time is now spent trying to find functionality which used to be in a predictable place but now isn't. Once again I am forced to spend more time looking for functionality than working the effort of which destroys my train of though. This is an operating system written by people who have absolutely no regard or care for producing usable equipment or for my mental wellbeing whilst I'm using it.
I have to use this excremental system for work. One reason I dream of winning the lottery is that I can buy this dreck from my employer, beat it to within an inch of it's life before consigning it to a fire.
