The Alien World

The impulsive buyer I am, a month back I bought a new Nokia N97. I am not going to talk about its features, because the list is long and you can as well find them here. So let’s keep straight go to its pros-n-cons.

Pros

This is really well loaded with lots of cool applications. With OVI store, you can download many of them for free. It has a huge 32GB storage with 5MP camera. Camera results are good. QUERTY keyboard is handy, and I have stopped hating sending SMSs. Many messenger are available for free, which allows you to remain connected to your friends round the clock. Widgets are good on the home screen.

Cons

1. It is very slow – couple of reasons
   1. Low RAM
   2. Low processor

   With so many powerful features, the phone is as good as a mini computer. But the processor and RAM does not keep pace with it rich features.

2. Low battery life

   Again this is a serious problem. With a WLAN or GPRS & bluetooth running, the battery lasts for not more than a day. Add to this, if you play music, than it drains like anything.

3. Frequent Crashes & Hangs –

   Many times the problem is due to less RAM

My rating is 6/10. It would have been best, only if it was faster and had more battery life.

I ordered this bouquet on 8-March-07-12:30 PM for my wife on the occasion of women’s day. Specifically mentions to be delivered before 5 PM.

First they did not deliver it on the same day.

Second the flowers were of the worst quality – just green buds and grass. Spending Rs. 999/- for this crap what like dropping a 1000 rupee note in gutter. I couldn’t imagine that these guys could send such a product. From no angle it looks like a Rs. 999/- bouquet. In fact it not even looks worth Rs. 100.

I will not refer anyone to buy from fernsnpetals.

At the same time the customer service of Indiatimes is pathetic.  It is not that important to sell each and everything available in this world. It is more important to keep customers happy. First there contact numbers are mentioned wrong on the website (especially for Hyderabad) other cities numbers are usually busy. I was continuously on the line for 15 minutes trying to get through.  Second they will take 4 day to give reply for deliver status. Imagine getting a status or feedback of deliver for flowers that are supposed to be delivered on the same day. There is no logic at all in their replies.
