T-Mobile G1 and My Thoughts
by M80 on Oct.07, 2008, under Mobile
The T-Mobile G1 is the best phone in the history of the world! Have you not seen the video reviews and seen the specs? GPS, 3G, Touchscreen, WiFi, etc, etc.
That’s what I thought until I started to delve deeper into what it can ACTUALLY do. Sure it has a built in compass with a nifty gyro thingy but it lacks a few key features.
From what I’ve seen on the net I was ready to drop my Blackberry Curve and pre-order one of these bad boys. Until I found it can’t do UMA, no 3.5mm headphone jack, and can’t be used an a modem for a laptop. All very key features that my Curve currently has and I use on a regular basis.
Android, what are you doing! I’m willing to over the 3.5mm jack but no UMA or dial up networking for my laptop? My HTC Dash had that later of the 3 and that was 2 phones ago for me.
Get it together boys and I’ll reconsider dropping my hard earned cash on your gadget.
Blackberry Curve 8320 OS 4.5 Review

Blackberry Curve 8320
My first impressions of my Blackberry Curve 8320 from T-Mobile were pretty good. I enjoyed the shape and feel the device in my hand. It wasn’t overly bulky or cumbersome. The OS seemed pretty decent as well. Not great, but gets the job done.
When I picked up my 8320 my buddy also picked up the new Blackberry Pearl. His Pearl had the new 4.3 OS (later re-numbered to 4.5 for the Curves) from RIM. My phone had the old 4.2. I was disappointed because 4.5 had some cool features. It was also lacking in some areas. The default browser was something other than a web browser, the media player was just rubbish, when trying to hand off between UMA and EDGE I would drop calls, and there was no video recording option.

T-Mobile HotSpot @Home - Review
by M80 on Aug.15, 2008, under Clothes, Mobile
I’ve been using this HotSpot @Home from T-Mobile for several months now and have come to really like it. A lot…probably to much. I’m a techno geek and I love my gadgets. I have a 1000 minute plan and on a regular basis I talk about 600-800 minutes a month. Sometimes more and sometimes less.
I got this service for a few reasons. One was that the company I was working for at the time required me to use a cell phone for tech support calls. I started this job and was very very close to going over my minutes each month. I heard about this hot spot program and jumped on it. It has worked like a champ. Granted I no longer work for said company I still have this service attached to my phone. Why? Why not stop and save me that $10 a month? I have no clue. Well, other than it’s fun! I love searching for open wireless signals at my favorite spots. I get all giddy when I find and can connect. I have to tell whom ever I’m with that I can make free phones and it no use my minutes! They just look at me like I’m retarded. (continue reading…)
