124 billion dollars can't restore a Nokia E90's bookmarks

Got home last night and wanted to check my email on my Nokia E90 that I stupidly updated with the Nokia Software Updater. Which is, if I haven’t said already, a piece of shit.

I really don’t know WHAT is going through the heads at the software developers over at Nokia. What ARE you thinking?

I updated my device, ok? Yes. Before that, I ‘backed it up’. Messages, contacts, and so on. Yes?

I restored, yes. That ‘worked’.

I thought all my bookmarks were restored.

No.

Just ONE is missing.

ONE sodding bookmark is missing.

How crap of a mobile development team do you HAVE to be, to make a BACKUP and RESTORE function that DOESN’T DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN.

Either you should make it work. Or not bother at ALL. BINARY — PLEASE! One or the other! Don’t make it HALF work.

It’s MAGNIFICENTLY ANNOYING to find that every single one of my internet bookmarks was restored, except the really long complicated one for my web email. That, er, seems to be … somewhere else.

Either the backup screwed up. Or the restore screwed up. Whatever, it’s just ridiculous. This is a billion dollar company we’re talking about. A market capitalisation of, according to Google Finance, 124 BILLION.

Why do they even bother to include this function if it doesn’t WORK. By all means, hide it away and let the geeks play. If it was a hidden function, something you had to *seriously* find to use, then I wouldn’t have a problem.

I have a massive issue when it’s front-and-centre on the Nokia PC Suite — as you can see above — there it is, I even highlighted it with a red box. Gah. Goodness knows how many consumers are being mucked around by this idiot function.

What a total ARSE.
