Repair Culture, India

Posted on | July 14, 2005 |

Jan Chipchase who works in user-research at Nokia blogs about India’s informal mobile phone repair culture.

Many of these guys can strip and rebuild a mobile phone in minutes. How do these kind of services affect the mobile phone user experience? What happens when everyone has affordable access to these kind of services?

Side-note: a lot of the hyperbole surrounding western hacker culture makes me smile compared to what these guys are doing day in day out.
