My friend and long-time companion left us yesterday... Yes, my T-Mobile MDA that has functioned as phone, eKey, PDA and mobile modem is done... at least as anything but a PDA. The speaker just crapped out. The result was a screeching sound on ALL calls... on both ends.
As a real estate agent, that isn't acceptible. So I had to go to the store to replace it. What I really wanted wouldn't work... the Google G1... Supra doesn't support it as an eKey. I also really liked the T-Mobile Wing... alas, no support for that, either. So, my choices were all Blackberry units.
- Curve
- Pearl
- Pearl Flip
I opted for the Pearl Flip (8220). My wife has a Pearl (8100) so I didn't want to get the same phone she had. I knew that she kind of wanted one of these, so if I hated it, we could strike a deal. I had to play with the keyboard for a few minutes to decide if I could handle it. The keys of the Curve were smaller.
So far... it is ok.
I have the FaceBook app... and I'm sure that Twitterberry will be making its way onto the phone. Of course I have the eKey set up (had to buy the fob which is an annoyance). I'm curious what other things are "gotta haves". One of my friends mentioned Vlingo when I made a comment on FaceBook. My wife is checking out Vlingo... so we'll see...
I'm sure that this will be providing better updates during REtechSouth.
I'd love to hear your tips and tricks... And for all of the iPhone people..
- Not supported by eKey
- Not at T-Mobile
- Not in my budget
One last bonus. We have the HotSpot@Home plan from T-Mobile as a home phone solution. The cool bonus is that when I am at home... or on ANY wifi network, the phone hands of the calls from the cellular network to the wifi... and the minutes aren't used. Cool.
