Cell Phone World Going Nuts!!!



The crazy world of cell phones is going nuts! The new phones are really not that good, and are just being hyped by each maker so much, that each one sounds fantastic!
The Blackberry Storm 2 is really a piece of junk and I am sort of a Blackberry fan as I have fallen in love with Blackberry Messenger and own a Tour. The new Blackberrys coming out with the Optical Track Pad and Wi-Fi are really nice and I would definitely recommend them. The Droid from Motorola is a poor design, but is running one of my favorite Operating Systems; Android. It is probably a beautiful and smooth User Interface, but the design of the Keyboard kills it for me. The pointer thing on the right of the Keyboard is so poorly placed it makes the design a wreck. Motorola is not going to get back into cell phones again at a profit unless they start designing good stuff like they used to. They have the best audio of a lot of phones because they are superior Radio makers, so they know their stuff when it comes to Radio Frequency and audio out. However the Droid is screwed up because of that crappy keyboard! They need to have better physical design.

This is not going to please a lot of people, but the iPhone is the best device out still and it has been absolutely copied by everyone as far as design and interface. So far nobody has been able to kill it. I think there is a possibility of it being killed by someone, but it's not going to be Motorola or HTC....in the near future. The Cell Phones coming out are exciting until you use them, then they just don't make it. I'm still lovin' the Pre and the iPhone, but I am going to jump into something new in a few months. My Tour and My Touch are favorites also.

Ok, Now What?

OK. Everything is OK. The Palm Pre is a really great device. It works as presented and is a really great Smart Phone. I actually love it and have not had any problems with it so far. It has only been 5 days, but I have it going pretty much the way I want. Got my sync stuff worked out and almost everything I need is in the phone. It is slick. So, now that I finally got it and love it, I have to decide what to do about my iPhone. I love that one too. After all, the Smart Cell Phone is where it's at. These are the greatest devices for high tech and development at the moment. Why get a Kindle, when you can read books on your Smart Phone. I have read books on an old Plam device and it was great, so now it's even better. Especially on the iPhone with the Kindle App. I need to get the new iPhone 3GS, but they want too much (for me, anyway). I will just have to see if the Apple Store can work out something for me because I am not paying $500.00 to $600.00 for the thing and I am not waiting another year to get it either. I will keep you posted on what happens.
So, the thrust of this Post is that the Pre is great and yet, the iPhone is really great too. Perhaps the greatest two devices out (as of June 19th for the iPhone). For the ultimate in fun, these two are the ones to have. The Pre will really explode as the "code guys" work on it because it has become so easy to play with the firmware. I'm having a ball!
