Hello... thanks for your time.

In the new year…I want a new cell phone.

Published by Frank | Filed under Cell Phone

In the new year, I want to look into a new cell phone.

Currently I have a Palm 700w and in my opinion, it works so-so. If the phone only had more internal memory and built in wi-fi, they would have a sure hit with me. But on the other side, the phone it very easy to use, with the qwerty keyboard it is very easy to send a quick sms or look up a contact or word document.

But I need to do more with my phone. Email is one thing that i miss with the cell phone. Having a Blackberry at my last job was very nice. I was always in close contact with anything that was happening. I know that i can read email and surf the web with the 700w but i was always having trouble with the storage on the phone. Even with the extended sd card.

Here are my list of demands in the new phone:

  • Full qwerty keyboard. I do not want a screen qwerty keyboard like you see on the iphone, i want buttons!
  • Built in wi-fi
  • Blue tooth
  • Ability to read several email accounts
  • sync with outlook
  • this list, i know, will grow.

I am on the fence about:

  • Having the ability to write and edit office files. (more on that in another post)
  • Camera phone. This is a nice feature, but for getting a quick image.

At this point the list is simple, but I want something that is productive and effective.

    Frank, long time no speak. Got your Bebo thing. I have a 700W. I teather to my laptop and it’s like 120K baud like the old DSL. I wish it was G3 as my teathering software pdanet by junefabrics.com supports G3.

    A couple other things the 700W and the 700Wx need are the ability to sync with more than 2 PCs. I have home, work and laptop. It won’t do 3 PCs.

    It has blue tooth but not blue tooth teathering to a laptop to make it a wireless wireless modem.

    It needs a better camera too. I agree with you. Quick images only.

    I have the 700w but I went with the blackberry pearl. I am going to use the device more for email and i have a laptop if I want to create/edit documents. Currently right now this best fits my daily routine the best.
