I’ve been looking for a phone/pda to splash a bit of money on, since I have bought anything geeky in awhile. I’ve made a short list of features I want it in it. Here is my little list:
- GPS
- QWERTY
- Wireless
- 3g
- Bluetooth
- Camera (with video)
- SD card
- An OS that is currently being developed on
- Dual Sim (Not too important, but it would be nice)
- Large Screen
- Phone-ish sized ( I don’t wanna be carrying around a laptop )
- Looks nice
I’ve found the Nokia E90 smart phone that looks really nice and fits all the requirements but the Dual Sim point. Now the Nokia E90 has a GPS and wireless (802.11g), so it’s probably only time before Symbian OS has kismet running on it :>. If I can’t find any war driving apps, I’ll suppose I’ll have to make one.
I bought an HTC Touch. It doesn’t fit the 3G or GPS or Dual sim parts, but it does do google maps. Also applications are readily available.
Do you trust windows with your mobile though?
