BlackBerry before BlackBerries were cool.
I haven’t had to turn on my computer in 3 days, and my productivity has gone up correspondingly.
I’m about to do a complete reset on my obsolete HTC T-Mobile Dash.
It’s an ‘06 phone so it’s positively ancient in cell phone time, but it was cutting-edge back then and it’s living a healthy life even half a decade later. In fact, I still get curious looks and questions about it all the time. It runs Windows Mobile, so it’s always choppy and crashy, but it impressed me with features like contacts sync with Gmail and automatic online backup.
Bye bye, dear phone. It’s been a good year: I’ve traveled thousands of miles with you and slept with you on all those lonely nights. Now it’s time to send you to a new home.
A Nielsen study on smartphone adoption worldwide. Pretty interesting to me.
Motorola Defy with Android. I’m surprised it took this long, but there’s finally a rugged smartphone on the market. And it doesn’t look too terrible like rugged phones used to. Too bad it’s only water-resistant and not waterproof (though the silly writers at Engadget submerged it anyway).
Look at Palm, kinda sad. I have a webOS phone and it’s absolutely awesome. It’s just that there’s not much consumer awareness since Palm has been getting acquired by HP for the last few months, and the new HP-Palm still hasn’t taken any action yet.
