One of the things that have become irreplaceable tools in everyday life are the cell phone. They are see as accessories, functional tools for business, media players for the plane or the gym. I'm not going to get into the whole Qualcomm /Broadband suit going on right now.. that would be another opinionated commentary on American censorship.
The SE P910a
The last one I took a long time to research and decide on. I have the SONY Ericsson's P910a. I'm not too much of a fan of the new SE P990's smaller screen, but the flash 2.2MP camera, and the video phone capability sell it to me. Of course there's the Symbian Operating System which is Open Source and non-proprietary in second vendor software.
I've heard pro's and cons from folks who have used it but all in all it still holds strong for me. The SE I own now has been dropped no less than 50 times from heights even above my head. I stopped worrying about it after about the 10th drop (that may have added to the high count later). The thing takes a BEATING. I broke the keyboard after texting like a maniac for 2 years. Not too shabby. I took that off and now use a virtual keyboard like the new iPhone is going to have. I'm not a fan. I like the tactile real keys. sure its a little harder on your fingers for texting, but I like it better and find it more responsive.
The SEp990 SOOOOOOO NICE!
Anyway. I just found out the new one shipped today so it will arrive just in time for me to spend the weekend screwing around with that instead of fixing my leaky irrigation. Well I'll fix that but I'm sure There's stuff I won't get done because of it. More on the SE site... this is a truly awesome phone... if you can call it that .. I usually call the p910 my 'mini laptop' and with 3G connection and the ability to surf in any unsecure wi-fi or if I get wi-fi with T-mobile then I'll be at outrageous downloads on it :)
They just came out with the p1, but im sure it's about 2-3 times what I can get this for. I'll wait 3 years and upgrade then. the p1 is smaller and has a 3.2MP camera.
