Asking Big Questions about the universe: Stephen Hawking on TED.com Revelation - Open Source is Great! or How My Husband Discovered Open Source
Apr 04

I’m eligible for a phone upgrade in two weeks which I’m going to take advantage of. I know, it means selling my soul for another 2 years to Cingular/ ATT/ WhateverTheHellTheyCallThemselves, but I’m one of the few who’ve had wonderful customer service and connection experiences with them, so I don’t mind.

Samsung x507My current phone is a Samsung x507, which I like, but I really want a camera phone. I like the idea of being able to vblog on the go and send photos right to my Evernote account.

What I like about it:

  • Size
  • Clamshell - can’t accidentally dial
  • Sturdy - as it is used by someone who regularly drops phones.

If I still lived in Seattle and was away from the office a lot I could justify a blackberry or an iPhone. Right now, I’m almost always within 10 minutes of my home computer, so accessing email/calendars isn’t a necessary feature. I also have an iPod, so music isn’t an issue either. When I do need information I text Google, which works pretty well. In fact I do text quite a bit and use SMS as a reminder for appointments. It also needs bluetooth. I use my cell phone as a work number, so this is essential.

It would be neat if I could take short videos as well, kind of like a phone version of the Flip.

It looks like my choices are these:

Anyone have any suggestions or opinions about these phones?
