Phone woes

I have a really flash mobile phone - bit like a Blackberry, but better looking and with more 'stuff' on it. Pretty much like a mini PC. Now, I wouldn't choose a phone like this, but work pay for it and that arrangement suits me fine.

The problem is - it's shit. Because it runs so much software it crashes all the time, and I'm a bit fed up with that. But my face lit up with amusement yesterday when I got the following error message:

"Your phone is currently switched off, would you like to turn it on?"

Now, I ain't fik or nuffink, but surely if my phone is providing me error messages, it must be switched on? What amuses me most is that at some point in the development of this phone, someone actually said "We need to provide an error message for when the phone is switched off and the user wants to switch it on. The phone will need to be ON when we display this message of course, but that shouldn't cause any confusion in the slightest".

Genius.
