"The pain was exquisite," he said. "It was like having your tongue hit with a hammer. Man, it hurt. My tongue swelled up and it hurt like hell for days."

Friday 13th

Symbian based Nokia phones seem to be off by one day as three Nokia phones died in my office yesterday:

Nokia 6600: boots to white screen

Nokia 6600: shows 'Phone application closed' before it shows a 'please contact your vendor' message

Nokia 3650: goes in a never ending loop rebooting when it starts

They were bought in the same period so the conspiracy theory is that Nokia has a self destruction timer. Others believe it's a virus. Whatever the cause; 3 Nokia phones died the same day in an office with 8 people...
