The new phone's here

Posted by: Seth Shapiro

Yay. Wait a minute – the new phone sucks.
Seduced by 3G and HSDPA, I got a Samsung Blackjack. The screen is gorgeous; the black rubberized shell is great and the form factor is nice but Windows Mobile 5.0 is ass. Don’t get me started on the menuing mistakes they made unless you’re thinking of getting one ? in which case email me and I’ll give 10 reasons not to. Another D+ User Experience from Redmond. Even the audio makes no sense… the vibrate sounds like a dying cow.

I’m buying a Blackberry 8800 and will wait for the iPhone… both of which are unfortunately Edge not 3G. Re Blackjack, Q, Dash – if you have one and really like it please drop me a line and explain how you deal with the bizarre functionality decisions.
