Yesterday I wrote a note about how badly e-mail is suited for collaboration. But are there better alternatives? Or is e-mail a similar solution as democracy - which is a bad political system but better than alternatives. I have seen examples where wiki-systems have worked efficiently making collaboration productive. Also, often e-mail is used in situation where it causes grief instead of helping things further. In many cases discussions by phone or in person help to avoid unnecessary e-mails (and also help to avoid misunderstandings which often arise when using e-mail).

Nokia 9300i still broken - design problem with E90 -- Comment()
Yesterday I got the 9300i back from repairs, where it was for a month. Today morning I noticed an interesting new problem: in the cover part of the phone the backlighting of the display does not work. Instead the backlighting of the keys is switched on. This does not help to see what is on the display. There are crossed wires or bits somewhere. To repairs, once again? On Wednesday I got my hands on the new Nokia E90 Communicator. Felt quite sturdy, and my colleague said that the battery lasts longer than on previous communicators. However, there is a significant design problem. The "red button" inside the phone is situated so that when you open the phone you often press the button by mistake, thus closing applications etc. I think this could be a big nuisance.
