Nokia, thank you!!!
Battery operating time... Nokia under-estimates it....
Yesterday evening, i had an ex-colleague to visit me, i fixed his laptop. He brought his girlfriend along. After a while my boyfriend came home from work. And a bit later, i was finished with the laptop and they wanted to go. Specially my colleagues GF seemed to be very much in hurry. Ten minutes later we found out why: Together with her, my boyfriends almost brand-new 7250 was gone !!
0.15, after midnight. Calling my colleague, he on a taxi with her. He had no clue that she stole the phone. She obviously said "no" when i let my BF talk with her. Then i back to talk with my colleague, while on the phone, calling my BF's phone with my 5130 and i COULD HEAR IT RING in the taxi. I told my colleague to stay on the line, where ever he is, i will come and take the 7250 back. I kept him on the line.
0.25 she jumped out of the taxi, panicking. He followed her. Me and my BF got ready to follow them, in a taxi. Still on the line.
0.35 reached the street where they were supposed to be, could not find them, and my colleague still didn't find the girl.
I switched to "loudspeaker mode" because it was very quiet there, i hoped by hearing dogs bark over the phone and hearing the same dog in "real" to be able to locate them.
0.50 he got hold of the girl, she refused to let go of the phone. HE refused to give location, now also in panic. I kept him on the line.
1.30 (!) my boyfriend losing patience (understandable!), wanted to call police. I set ultimatum to my colleague, told him "punch the bitch, give me my phone and run 'coz we call the cops and she'll be gone"
1.50 still he did not get the 7250 from her, i could hear them argue with each other. He put the phone somewhere and was around 25 meters apart from it. Still in loudspeaker mode to be able to hear them. Still could not locate them by dogs, because stupid dogs didn't bark any more.
2.15 wandering thru Bangkoks nightly sidestreets. Still my colleague shouting with that girl, she screaming yet refusing to give the phone. I am busy calming my BF. My colleague is 60 yo! I guess he couldn't even try to fight her, she's around 40 and certainly could knock him out. I screamed when he came back to me: "If i find you, i'll kill her and beat you to hospital!"
2.40 he back to me, almost having her convinced. Still didn't get that 7250, but trying. My BF in a public phone, ready to call the cops.
2.42 his battery went flat. Tried to call my BF's phone 50 times, it rang, but nobody picked it up.
2.55 he got the phone! He picked it up. I again to loudspeaker, keeping him on. He tried to find us, i gave location.
3.20 he couldn't find us. Still on the line in LS mode. Made place at the end of the road.
3.35 met him and got the phone back. No word spoken, one guy now "dead" for me.
But.....
My 6610, which had been used two days before, wasn't even half empty! after more than 3 hours almost non-stop on the phone, most of that time in loudspeaker mode at full volume!
Nokia, thank you for such a performance!!! Standby isn't everything, in some situations, TALKtime matters........
Regards, Thanh, from Bangkok
