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 […]

Mobile E-mail Wanted
19Mar05The bummer of my A630 saga was that I am desperate for a device with a keyboard that does decent e-mail, web, and IM (without SMS). I love my SMT5600 but T9 doesn’t cut it. If only someone made a compact thumb-keyboard with Bluetooth and some sort of retainer to hold a phone…
So I contemplate […]
Almost a Treo 650
07Mar05My local Cingular store called this afternoon to say that they finally had some Treo 650s in stock, would I like them to hold one for me? Sure, I’ll stop by on the way home from work… So I arrive around 4:45pm. The in-store price is $450, a $50 discount from the web store price, […]
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…
A630 Arrives
21Dec04My Motorola A630 order arrived yesterday, around four weeks after I ordered it.
The good: It’s small and quite handsome. Battery life seems impressive. I’ve had it off the charger for about 30 hours, Bluetooth on, about 90 minutes talking (around 30 minutes on my Bluetooth headset and 30 on speakerphone), probably two hours of “playing”, […]
A630 Will Soon Be Mine
20Nov04T-mobile has launched the Motorola A630 for $300, no rebates, and Amazon is listing it again for $100 after a $200 rebate but the ship time still says 4-6 weeks.
Auf wiedersehen, CingulAT&T.
PS: The T-Zones Overview says the difference between T-Zones and T-Zones Pro is unlimited access to corporate e-mail. How does that translate into a […]
Pictorial
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, […]
