I'll let you figure out what other fun things you can do with that unlimited data add-on. ;)Ax0nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145109647562469601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554915078212081470.post-25829066624700830492009-08-05T06:59:19.055-05:002009-08-05T06:59:19.055-05:00I usually have a camera w/ me, but I do use the ca...I usually have a camera w/ me, but I do use the camera for quick mobile posting to places like Brightkite/Twitter. It's not a must, though.<br /><br />I had a smartphone back in the day, probably one of the first ever WinMO fones, the Audiovox Thera (a re-branded Toshiba 2032) and it was merely a passable PDA, with America's choice for data. It sucked as a phone. Even today's "smart" phones aren't genuinely awesome at computing nor make great phones.<br /><br />If I were used to living out of a netbook (say, a first-gen eeePC or something a little better than my Jornada), I might be ready to make the leap to a smart phone. As it stands, I just demand too much on-the-go to ditch my laptop.<br /><br />It sounds like the EnV3 is the one for me, really. The only thing I really dislike about my Chocolate is the lack of a qwerty interface.<br /><br />I'll probably swing by the VZW store sometime in the coming weeks and try my hand at using some of my favorite sites using its browser. Thanks for the input so far!Ax0nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145109647562469601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554915078212081470.post-55364298257204892702009-08-05T05:43:02.418-05:002009-08-05T05:43:02.418-05:00The enV1 was the first phone that I ever actually ...The enV1 was the first phone that I ever actually enjoyed using. With that said, I've also got my eye on the enV3.<br /><br />I'm in the exact same position (though a camera is a must for me. I snap quick pics for price checking all the time).<br /><br />It has all the main & periphery features you (and I) want. And BitPim compatibility (for mucking about in the filesystem) is surely right around the corner.<br /><br />I was looking at the Touch as well, but I'm not big on touch screens (yet), and the battery comment pretty much seals the deal.<br /><br />I've been getting by without a smartphone through use of SMS based services like Twitter, notify.me & ping.fm, but it's been tough ever since my notebook died on me. I'm figuring I'll have to cough up the money for a real data plan.<br /><br />Speaking of which, do you have an "America's Choice Plan?" I loved the old America plans because they treated data as minutes (1mb/min I believe). Free tethering and WAP after 9 was awesome. And since I barely used my minutes, I had enough to spare for using it during the day too.<br /><br />The current "Nationwide" plans charge .10/mb without a data addon. I haven't used my beloved WAP services since a family member "upgraded" us to the newer plan.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443666059095217415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554915078212081470.post-87472421455995945032009-08-05T00:04:11.621-05:002009-08-05T00:04:11.621-05:00I would say to stay with the ENV3 as your choice, ...I would say to stay with the ENV3 as your choice, my girlfriend got the ENV Touch a couple months ago and it just doesn't have the battery life and I believe it is because it has to backlight the entinre face of the phone rather than just the small screen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131847551603673382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554915078212081470.post-43503032787669386542009-08-04T22:19:19.039-05:002009-08-04T22:19:19.039-05:00I have a Palm 700p if you want, Its pretty old and...I have a Palm 700p if you want, Its pretty old and pretty beat up but still works fine and has a massive battery for a few days of run time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419353550099727483noreply@blogger.com
