Hunt for my neXt phone

February 2, 2009 in Mobile,Vss | | Comments (6)

I am using the Blackberry Flip these days and I moved to this from Blackberry bold and before that I used iPhone (first cut) for a while. 

I now know that instead of polling-based-email I need a push-email device. Incidentally blackberry does it best and iPhone hack still does not get integrated to enterprise email (we use Google App).

Another important feature is form factor. A big bulky handhald (read: B*B Bold) is skip for me. I like to keep it “hidden” or near to hidden in my hand/pocket. 

Third imp factor is music which I can play in my car/take with me and so on. So simply larger HDD does not work but connection of it in my car is equally imp . Either FM transmitter or standard jack which my car could support would do.

Finally, I add app store/app as my last in wish list as I know the most of apps I use are still web/wml/xml based so they can be carried anywhere. A device app which is cool is fancy for few days, rest of days you are struggling with memory and most use app ( in my case messaging). This keeps iPhone 3G out anyways. 

the choice lately came between Blackberry Storm (misses wifi ! so no-go ), Palm Pre and an-unknown-next version of iPhone. 

Just in case if you haven’t seen the Palm pre yet, here is the video for you.

 

I am getting convinced that Palm could do the trick with Palm Pre. Did you not love the video and think it is cooler than iPhone?
