PDA phone and my thoughts a week later...
Well I've had my new phone for about a week now and I've gotta say I enjoy it. It isn't perfect but its nice. Lets list a few pluses and minuses.
Pluses:
+ Wireless Internet: need I say anymore? Browsing the web is very nice, its even come in handy helping me locate a Quiznos that I would have missed otherwise. Speed isn't even that bad around 200Kb/s
+ Not quite as large as I though: The size actually isn't that bad. I'd say the height is about the same size if not a touch smaller than a standard non flip phone, the widwith is somewhat more. Now the depth is the killer.
+ Txt Messaging: It makes sending a txt a much easier proposition. It has a QWERTY keyboard.
+ Availablity of Programs: It looks like there are lots of fun programs to play around with available for the phone, only problem most of them cost money.
Minuses:
- Thickness: The phone is a bit thicker than I'd hoped for, not a whole lot but it certianly provides a quite large phone boner in my pants.
- Keyboard Size: This one isn't a huge minus but yeah the keyboard isn't huge its hunt and peck with the thumbs but the more I use it the better I'm getting.
- No 3G service: In large major metropolitan areas there is currently 3G internet service, UMTS from Cingular. It gives about 1-2Mb/s internet speeds or about 5-10x what i'm getting now. I wish this phone supported that, sadly it doesn't. There is a new version of this phone that has a processor about 2x as fast and supporst 3G. Sadly its only available as a manufacturer direct phone, I.E. the cheapest i've seen a store selling it is $745. Hopefully when that comes down I can upgrade.
Alrighty thats all for now, I'll keep you all updated on the phone when I finally get a sling box and get that up and running so I can watch TV on the go.

lol, phone boner. That would be a great addition to the other boner I'm carrying around all the time.
So what about battery life? Does it seem to last with normal use? What about heavy use? This phone sounds pretty sweet. Though the thickness is a bummer.

Yeah battery life isn't amazing, with the kinda use i've been giving it seems like every other day charge kinda thing. I could see it needing an every day charge though if you watched alot of video or the like on it. Do you walk around with a stark erection Mr. Andy? top

Yup, don't you get NBRs? (no reason boners) top
