My all-time favourite mobile phone was my old Sony Ericsson P910i but SE’s later phones just don’t match up in features or ease of use. I replaced the P910i with a Nokia E61i after the scroll wheel got wrecked by an idiot in airport security in Jakarta knocked the phone off the scanner in his [...]

Technorati Tags: nausea , physiology I have tried quite a few times to get my eyes accustomed to this but still end up feeling rather nauseous after even a few seconds of looking at it. Perhaps some budding physiologist can enlighten us as to why this should be.
