Smart Phones! Anyone?

#1

Post by happywonton »

Soon to be released 3G iPhone and a Blackberry Bold. Anyone looking to get either? Or Possibly some other phone? Or does nobody care?

I'm interested in the 3G iPhone but right now I'm stuck on that BB Bold.

I have a SE k850 with 5MP camera. I really like the phone. I consider it to be somewhat bulky. That's why I'll never get one of those smart phones. Just too big for my liking.

I had a Centro, which is what I guess you could call a smartphone...It was small, out of the way and overall pretty cool...But Sprint's coverage in my area is so shit, I had to let it go...I've since though about getting one of those new RAZR phones, but the only thing that has stopped me from doing that is that I hardly ever even talk on the phone, so having one means I'll need to have one that does more than make phone calls...

I know iPhone's are pretty cool, but I don't think I'd ever buy one...That Blackberry Bold looks pretty nice though...

I have an HTC Touch smart phone, well it's actually much more of a PDA with a phone and camera (albeit just a 2MP camera but on a phone...!!!) added in and I must say I really like it. I could never really understand when people would say, I just couldn't do without my phone, to me, mobile or cell phones were just a convenience, nothing more but this one makes me sort of realise what they mean. I don't know that I would say I couldn't do without it but I really, really like it. Having said that I'm looking hard at an iPhone just now and I like everything I see...except the price!!!

Best Regards

Goodog

I find it convenient since I'm not by a computer as often anymore. I have around an hour to read up on news, view some podcasts, check email and then it's bed. If I had a smart phone + data plan, I'd be connected all the time! :)

Anyway, next week, I'll know about the iPhone and in July I'll look at the BB Bold. I looked at the HTC tilt but the form factor was just annoying.

And yes, the prices are ridiculous.
