I hate my MDA; What new smartphone should I get?
I hate my MDA that I got a few months ago. I’ll spare you the details, but suffice it to say my problems are mostly to with Windows mobile. I can’t sync with my address book and calendar properly, every part of using the system is frustrating and buggy, and I have to wipe the phone for one reason or another every couple months. And the hardware ain’t so hot either– the sound quality leaves much to be desired.
So I am potentially in the market for a new phone. Forget about the Apple iPhone for now… I can’t stand to use this thing until June.
Here are the features I must have:
- Good sound quality
- A qwerty or faux-qwerty keyboard
- A good web browser
- Excellent synchronization with OS X Address Book and iCal
- Easy and relatively reliably internet OS X tethering over Bluetooth
Here are the features I would like to have:
- 802.11x
- Full use of the bluetooth spec
- More than a paltry 64 or 128 megs of built-in storage
- Supported and seamless internet tethering with OS X
- GPS (i know, now i’m dreaming)
As far as I know, I think my only options are either a Symbian phone (maybe needing to get a non-us model), or the BlackBerry Pearl.
Anyone have any other ideas? Let’s pretend that price is no object.
