So post 1. hmmm what to talk about....Gadgets!! my fav subject. i am the proud owner of many, too many if you ask some people, but never mind... where to start??
My Favorite gadget ever WAS my BB from work but now its my own BB. My machine (I should call it 'my device' but that too geeky, even for me) is a BB Bold and in the month I have had it, it has become my best pal.
Like I said, my first BB was my work phone and I loved it from the moment I managed to convince someone to give me one. I can now read emails at all times of the day. Sad, very sad...
It is a Curve 8300 in corporate grey. Although its impossible to adjust much and no extra software can be installed, thats OK. It works really well, battery life is fantastic and it was really easy to learn what to do with it.
This is why I finally decided I had to have one of my own.
My Bold has rubbish battery life especially if you use wifi, but the rest is great. I have installed apps galore and use Pocket Informant as the PIM. Its not as good as PI on WM6 but its pretty useful. The preinstalled BB Maps is no where near as good as the Googlemaps App. This is very quick to identify where you are using both GPS and the telephone cell. A really smart combination of the two technologies.
The camera is fine for the typical quick photo and the geo positioning is fun too. BBMaps shows you where the photo was taken.
The keyboard is good and much easier to press that the Curve. Its also slightly bigger so is easier on the RSI wrist and arms I have.
I bought the charger stand and have it as my bedside alarm clock.
The ringer is very loud so I am even able to hear it. What can I say, its great!!!!
So I will leave it here and am off to compose my rant on the LG Secret. I bought one last year and hated it from the moment I opened the box.
