Joeb’s Blog…Thing

Some of you will like this one

I emailed Nokia Customer Support the other day, following my reading of a thread on the Ubuntu Forums which made me realise that nobody has managed to successfully get Nokia PC Suite running on Linux. However there are client’s out for Windows & Mac OS , and you are asked what Operating System you use when you fill in the support request, where Linux is in fact an option.

Great! I thought, I might actually get directed to a Linux version, it’s more than most websites to even list it.
Oh how wrong I was…:( Below you’ll find the exact email reply I received (with the persons name removed):

Dear Joe,

Thank you for emailing Nokia Care.

With regard to your email, please note that Nokia PC Suite is designed to facilitate connectivity between your Nokia phones and Windows operating system. Your best option at this point in time would be to get in touch with Linux to see if they have any software that will enable the synchronization between the Nokia mobile phones and your Linux system.

Kind regards,

Nokia Care

How I laughed when I read that my “best option at this point in time would be to get in touch with Linux“. I’m wondering exactly how I’d go about doing this? Am I just supposed to send an email off to Linus Torvalds and moan at him that my phone isn’t properly supported?

Anyway, I just wanted to moan at the somewhat disappointing response I received, although I did receive it in less than 24 hours, which isn’t to be complained about
