  • Which Phone Should I Get? 

    All these new phones, which one do I get?   My current debatables are:

    iPhone 3GS

    Sprint Touch Pro 2 (after Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade comes out, resistive touch screen)

    Verizon Touch Pro 2 (after Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade comes out, resistive touch screen)

    Verizon Motorola Droid/Sholes (barely thicker than iPhone, with slide out qwerty keyboard, capacitive screen) 

    Motorola Droid smartphone 5

    I’m on Verizon, haven’t upgraded for 4 years, so I should have old contract $100 new every two credit (vs. the new cap at $50 for the new every two).  Sprint has unlimited phone and data for $70 a month.  iPhone is sleek, easy to use, but I’m not that keen on the network and battery life.  I also would prefer a full qwerty keyboard.  The Droid is supposed to be equipped with Android 2.0 and have a super cool recharger cradle that displays time, weather…

    Things I don’t care much about… camera (because I always carry my compact camera anyways), music (I have my ipod for that).  Mostly it will be for texting, emailing, calling, and web browsing. 

    Which should I get?  Have you had good or bad experiences with your iPhones, HTC phones, or the first google G1 phone? 


    Sidenote:  I recently picked up a the Sony TX1 Cybershot

    My old camera was fritzin’ so it was time to get a new one.  I’m lovin’ it!  The touchscreen is easy to use, responsive, and the main plus… it is one of the best compacts out there for low light photography!  Important for me because of the concert pics I take.  I tested it this week and the picture quality, color, and clarity for concert shots were stunning (all pictures taken without flash).  It is not as fast at recording the pic as my old camera (as in, the delay is a little longer from shot to shot), but this camera allows me to take almost SLR quality indoor photos without carrying the hunking SLR body.  They changed the light sensors and it’s made a world of difference.  And it also records videos in HD.
