Phones

A few weeks ago, I changed from a Blackberry Pearl to a Blackjack II. I Love the change to Windows mobile 6, but the Blackjack II only has Windows Mobile 6 Standard, and I couldn't really customize it that much. I was expecting to have PDA functionality, but found it lacking. So I went ahead and went up to the Tilt. Let me say, I am thoroughly impressed. This is what I was expecting. It has WM 6 Pro, which has the full functionality of a PDA. It also has 802.11 connectivity, which makes it tons faster while at home and work (Blackjack didn't). Many more nice features are included like a 3 megapixel auto focus camera (it actually moves the lens to focus), GPS with the ability to tether it to a laptop for GPS, and of course the ability to tether for connectivity. I love this phone. I still think AT&T's data network leaves a little to be desired, and will stick with sprint for my personal phone and data card, but for business, this phone can't beat anything I've seen so far. Believe it or not, it comes with the installer for Blackberry connectivity, so tomorrow I will switch back to my Blackberry unlimited data plan to test that out. Leaving the Blackberry messenger is the only reservation I had in leaving the Blackberry, and now it looks like I will have it all!! Bwahahaha!
For valentines day, I will probably get my wife a Sprint Touch phone. She's been asking about the iPhone, which is locked to AT&T, but the Touch looks like it might be a competitor to it, and as long as the phone offers touchscreen and music, my wife will be happy. Plus it's WM 6 Pro also, so she can access her personal email, etc. I'll let everyone know how that phone turns out.
Stay tuned for a pic from the new phone, as I test blogging from it. Should be nice!
