I have been using my Treo 650 coming to a year and I have realised that my mobile phone turnover time is getting lesser and lesser. I used to be able to resist the temptation of changing my mobile phone for at least 1.5 – 2 years. However, with the rapid advances in mobile technology, I do feel that my Treo 650 is a bit dated. Here’s some of the specs of my Treo 650: what it does have and does not have
GPRS (not HSDPA)
VGA camera (most are at least 2 MP and above)
no Wifi (even simple mobile phones have built in Wifi)
Crux of the matter, I am a techno slut and would like to have a new device…. So I am currently looking at the Samsung i780, which is of the dark side… Windows Mobile 6. I wonder if it will require rebooting everyday. Granted that I have never used a WM device but the horror stories I have heard about them are truly scary. Then again, our dear Palm has not gone much further in getting new products out besides the Centro, which in my opinion has no great appeal and Palm seems to still wallowing in the glory of the Treo series which is many years behind other smartphones.
Besides being a WM device, the Samsung i780 seems to have eveything a smartphone should have and pricing with a telco discount is actually quite appealing at around S$298.
My other option would be to get the Nokia N810 Tablet device, which has a bigger screen and more suited as a multimedia device, but I already have the Ipod Touch which serves very much as such.
My conclusion? I am a techno slut!
