My 14-day return period with the T-Mobile MDA is just about up. I’m grudgingly going to keep it… I’d rather use the MDA as a data-only device but T-Mobile recently jacked their unlimited data-only plan from $30 to $50, and for my usage patterns I’m better off spending $10 more to bundle their cheapest voice […]

Sweet new iPaq phone
15Feb05Msmobiles has the skinny on the iPaq Mobile Messenger h6500, complete with comparison photos next to an Orange SPV C500 (SMT-5600, SP3i, etc) and a close-up of the keyboard. Supposedly due in April for €700 ($900).
Another shot fired in furtherance of the global conspiracy to bankrupt my vacation fund…
Still Playing
04Nov04One week later, I’m still enjoying my Audiovox SMT5600. The horizontal belt case that it came with has already broken.

28Oct04Here’s a quick photo comparison of almost all the phones I had handy at home. From left to right: Handspring Treo 180, Nokia 8890, Motorola MPX-200, Audiovox SMT5600, Nokia 8290, Nokia 3650.
Critics of my crappy camera work and poor lighting may be shot on sight.
I love to bash that old 3650 — it’s huge, ugly, […]
Another new toy…
27Oct04My Audiovox SMT5600 arrived this morning. Everyone at work is impressed by the large screen and compact form. It compares favorably to just about everything they’ve held up to it so far. Getting ActiveSync working with my laptop over Bluetooth was a challenge — fortunately I remembered Phonemag’s instructions. That first step was the missing […]
Outlook Hazy
13Oct04After word came out this weekend that some Best Buy stores started selling the Motorola MPx220 I was disappointed to find that none in my area had them. Turns out maybe I got lucky — it’s 1.3MP camera sucks major ass. The webcam I picked up for $15 at Walmart two years ago takes much […]

12Oct04AT&T Wireless has the Audiovox STM 5600 (850/1800/1900 version of the i-mate SP3 / Orange C500 / HTC Typhoon) on their site for $199.99 after $50 and $70 rebates.
