A tale of mobile devices

When I started the year in 2007, I had one phone - my trusty I-Mate K-JAM

Then I scored a Palm Treo 750

Windows Mobile 6 came along and changed everything!

Palm Announced Update to Windows Mobile 6 for Treo 750 back in March.

I waited and waited and waited and waited (though some folks didn't have to wait as long)

Finally in October I upgraded to a HTC TyTN II

 060

Note the spiffy USB Leather Hand Strap

Then I  also scored a cool smartphone, the T-Mobile Shadow, aka HTC's Juno

I really like the lightweight wifi slider phone

And then I finally tracked down the Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade for my Treo 750 (just before Kleefy tracked down the Telstra specific upgrade) - which continues to be my favorite device.

So, at the start of 2008 - I find myself now with a multitude of choices.

My kids are all being nice to me, because they all want an upgrade too.

But with updates just around the corner - the fun will continue!

# re: A tale of mobile devices

it's that updates thing that's stopping me getting a new handset. I want one now (something like the S730 but with a better camera, or a Nokia N95 8GB - a why doesn't it run WM) but knowing the update is close and the carriers probably won't release it (and even for unlocked handsets it's probably going to be tough to get...)

what to do! the eternal struggle of living on the bleeding edge (and dogfooding)

My T-Mobile Shadow has become my phone of choice for the past few weeks, and I've been pimping it up
