Yeeaaargh!! I hate Samsung so much right now! I hate Samsung so much right now! Aaaarch!

I’ve been the proud owner of a Samsung D900 for a couple of months now and have somehow convinced myself that the beautiful industrial design[1] made up for the poorly designed user interface[2].

But now the fucking crap software that Shamshung choose to ship with it (PC Studio 3) simply refuses to download any photos from the fucker.

And how’s this for an error message:

Phone Error

That’s it! Fucking phone error! No error code, no entry in Windows Event Viewer, not even a frickin’ text log file.

So I did the right thing, I upgraded from version 3.0.1 to 3.1.1 and duely tried again. Phone Error.
I switched to the Bluetooth connection rather than USB): Phone Error.
I uninstalled and re-installed 3.0.1 and switched to Bluetooth: Phone Error.
I trawled the GSM forums proposed by Google: Phone Error.
You get the idea.

I’ve written a serious amount of software over the last 8 years and can confidently say that good error logging is not hard to do. This is totally inexcusable and shit!

I’m seriously contemplating selling it and going back to a Nokia – despite the bad rep. that the Symbian OS has been developing in more recent models.

There’s only one thing left to do for me to exact revenge on Samsung en masse – unleash my mad The Gimp skillz!

Samsung Must Diee!

If all the bad karma captured in the above image doesn’t make their worldwide sales drop almost instantly I would be very surprised.
I shall sit back and wait for the cautionary announcement on their next quarter profits.

hmmm… why do I not feel any better?
