On a recent trip to the UK I only packed my smart phone. When I was nearing my destination I needed to fire up the GPS to get me to the correct address (which was also stored in the phone together with my host's phone number). The phone however had crashed - sure it switched on but would not make any calls and could not start any applications. The only way to get it to become a working phone (at least) was to do a full re-set to factory settings - wiping out the GPS application, my contact list and all phone numbers and addresses. Good eh? Important lesson number 1 - never rely upon a single piece of technology for anything. Important lesson number 2 - never buy another Windows mobile based phone. As for Windows 7 - all that will do is run the battery flat even quicker.
