My recent acquisition of a Blackberry storm was exuberant. I finally bit the bullet and got into the "business phone" market. My first experience, however, was tainted with a sluggish and often non-responsive interface. Technology of this sort, especially at a 200$ price tag, should do all be wipe my... nose. I was drawn to it by quite a few nice features. It posses a gigantic (in relative terms) screen that also happens to be touch sensitive; a 3.2 mega pixel camera can be used to take pictures while "on the go"; and with aGPS (the "a" stands for assisted, google it if you don't believe me) and geotagging capabilities (also something i recommend googling).
I realized one thing. When the controls are that slow, and often times requires too many "screen click"s to make it worthwhile, then they just add to the price markup and not much else. Three other quick notes before I go, off to replace it with a more solid Blackberry format: the entire screen clicks for every button press(no i do not like this); it cannot sync my GMail contacts properly, and even deleted a few; and I recommend waiting to pick on of these up, if you feel so inclined, until AFTER the software update filters out many of the glitches.
WORD OF THE WEEK
Omnia-
Latin for containing all, everything
The Samsung Omnia was another possible choice but also failed my brief test. Apparently I have strick standards?!
