Mobile / cell phones

I'm very happy with my newest phone.

It's a lot more than a phone and when I can't watch a youtube video at work (they have the codec blocked), I can always get it on my blackberry. SUCKAS.

Seriously, very sweet!

Hmm, Blackberry... I don't know if my network supports it, but it does look very sweet.

Now that brings the list up to 3 because I don't know if the HTC is available here at all. And I don't really see the features I want as gagets, they're just such standard features it just the level of advancement you want eg 3.2 vs 5MP.

I swear, by the time I decide, there will be something new to confuse me

I'll add a vote for the Blackberry. Though Bold, not Curve for me.

Now that is a good looking handset, all the features I want. But, my fucking network doesn't have it and I will have to check if I can get it configured to work on it. Fuck it, if all else fails I'll use this as my personal handset and run my other one through my business and get sweet rates

Slightly off topic - Does anyone know a good website that shows who are international roaming partners for Australian networks, especially "3", or Hutchinson as I think its known as elsewhere. I called the support line and they said it will work but they can't commit to a roaming partner so I might get drop out. Failing that, can anyone from Florida recommend a good prepaid network? I've been told horror stories about how American networks are run

If you cant get the blackberry check out the blackjack II. Not a bad phone for the buck. Light, has everything you need. Runs on windows mobile...slow, takes a bit to organize. But has gps, tv, internet, qwerty pad, text editing on Word, music. Holds a nifty memory card.

Hubby and I are getting new phones and we did quite a lot of research into phones and features and have decided on the HTC Touch Pro. I have seen them and played around with one and I have to say, I love the slide out keyboard! Also has WiFi and hubby said I could Thresh on it in our house with our WiFi network! Any suggestions on software for it? Hubby said would probably be just telenet or something like that.

Odd you should mention that, someone was talking to me about porting RosMud to that phone a little while ago. It'd be an enormous job to port all of RM, but if I had a phone to play with, I could probably do you up a decent telnet client - gcc supports that chip.
