New Cell
by admin on Aug.08, 2006, under Computers
OK, so I am being an idiot and wanting a new cell phone.
Though I am somewhat satisfied with my current Nokia 6800, I feel I need more.
The reason I got the Nokia 6800 was because I wanted a keyboard for texting. Yes, I love the keyboard. However this phone is limited in what it can do. Sure it has a FM radio built in, but I NEVER use it. Oh, and the ringtones are those polymorphic tones. Bland MIDI.
So I have been looking into some other ones.
The basics of what I want:
- Looks OK
- Plays Music (Mp3s)
- Has a built in camera
- Has bluetooth
- Affordable
- Must work with T-Mobile
So I have narrowed it down to the following 3 (Click names for pics and info):
Samsung t890
T-Mobile SDA
T-Mobile MDA
I like the samsung, because its sleek, its small, and it does what I want. And according to a review, if Darth Vader had a cell, this would be it. Downside is that it doesnt have a full keyboard, which I have come to love.
I like the MDA, because well, it has everything. I can connect to my home wifi and use it to control computers on my local network and such. It has a full keyboard, and a “software numberpad” for when dialing, basically you press the screen. It can even play mp3s and small videos. Downside is that supposivly it doesnt have the best reception and signal, and its a little bulky.
On the other hand, the lower end SDA has everyhting I need, plus plays some videos, has better reception and reviews that the MDA, but it does not have the full keyboard, no touchscreen like the MDA, and not as many programs can run on it.
Speaking soley on what I need compard to what I want, the samsung it would be, but everyone knows me, I am a geek and want more.
