Well, the most recent ones only (from left to right): Samsung D900, Nokia 6300, Sony Ericsson T700. There’s no real use in posting about my Nokia 3310. Three phones, spanning over a period of three years, all two of them in perfect working order. I like my phones slim and slick, with a decent camera.
Update: There’s a problem with my current phone, Sony Ericsson T700. I have no sound when I get a call or text message. The phone isn’t in silent mode, and can play ringtones and mp3s just fine. I tried resetting, tried updating the firmware (there are no firmware updates at this time). So, I’ll have to send it in for repair.

I’m having quite a peculiar problem: after I install a Linux distribution, my Windows 7 desktop icons and files don’t show up anymore on the desktop. The files and icons are not gone, they’re still on the hard drive, they just don’t show. I’ve tested this over and over again, doing a fresh Windows 7 installation, and afterwards installing Linux Mint, Kubuntu, and Opensuse. With the same outcome. Any ideas, people? Or did I find a bug in Windows 7?
