What I want in a Phone/PDA
Requirements
- Make calls (the k-jam was slow, shesh, even the AT&T Tilt is slow)
- Do email – both personal and business
- Browse the web – BB doesn’t support crap. IE (even on WinMO 6) is old. Opera is slow.
- Address book (sync over the phone network, with Google or Outlook)
- Calendar (sync over the phone network, with Google or Outlook)
- Task List (sync over the phone network, with Google or Outlook)
- Bluetooth: hands free w/ my Jawbone, data xfer.
- ssh
- Qwerty Keyboard (the AT&T Tilt is mushy, the BB is pretty good).
- Big, clear screen
- Make outgoing calls hands free (voice dialing).
- 3+MP Camera (N90 is Awesome! Tilt is ok. K-Jam is similar in focus, but low on MP)
- View images
- Play music (BB 8700c is crap! WinMoMedia Player is ok
- GPS Maps (Google maps pseudo GPS isn’t too bad. Tilt has GPS, but the update feature is annoying)
- Games (though i usually read RSS feeds in my free time)
- RSS
- 3G (using EDGE now, and ssh is … sluggish to say the least)
- WiFi (when I’m at home or some free is availble. Maybe some day the data network will be as fast as wifi)
- Alarm (BB is CRAP. WinMo has 5 customizable alarms, quite good)
- Real network (I don’t get that MEdiaNet crap from AT&T
