The ever evolving mobile phone

Before I go the the bit about my phone history let me sy some thing about the current one. I've been using the iPhone 3G for almost a year now, and I love it. Today I went to see the phone that claim to be the iPhone killer. It's been a couple of days since the palm Pre launched in the U.K, so I visited the local O2 to have a look at it and I was surprised at how unimpressed I was! The body felt very plasticy and cheap, the silver ball button the the bottom felt very cheap and flimsy to the press, and the web OS was very dull. It lacks that addictive feel of the iPhone. Worst of all, it was buggy. The key feature they boast about it the seamless multitasking of the pre. What I saw was that even opening the contacts card took way too long to open and once I clicked the media icon it said there were too many cards open and to close them.. And there were no other cards open!! Then the nice girl at the shop came and said may be it's an error and shell boot up another one, since I didn't have much time.. I said I'll come another time.it's not that I'm so brain washed by apple that I refuse to consider any other phone. The fact is that it's the only phone that I have felt to be complete.Let talk a bit about my past phones.

The 1st phone I owned was a Nokia Ringo. It cost almost nothing, and it did the job of making phone calls.From there on my it's been a torrent of phones in my life. If you are intrested to see the list... It's at the bottom.

Using all those phones meant a lot to me at the time I bought it, and after a couple of weeks it just became so dull. The 1st days are such a joy, as you learn te new features and show them off to your friends and fund out how the new toy makes use of the latest developments in the tech world. After a few weeks or months though , it feels old and so obsolete. It's not only due to the fast replacemt of phones , I think it's mainly due to the fact that you get bored of the same thing over and over again.

Only 2 phones have made me want then for more than a year. The 1st was the htc touch. It's user interface was just perfect and it was fast and felt great in the hand. It even navigated me all over Europe couples with a nokia Bluetooth receiver and tomtom 6. The other of course is the iPhone.Its so good that even after almost a year of using it, I can't think of replacing it. O think apple got it right my putting minimal buttons on it. The fact is thelat there is no design on it, it's utterly minimal. This makes the device future proof. Think of a hair style or a fancy printed shirt , it may look good at that moment or for a few months, bitten it gets out dated, whereas a simple neat haircut or a nice neat white or pin stripe shirt won't ever go out of style. By keeping the desighn minimal and the OS expandable apple hit the nail right on the head. People love the iPhone because it is higly customizable. No 2 people will have the same apps and you can always find new apps that make your life easier. I don't think I'd type so much if u didn't have this blogger app on this. I'm actually at the barber's killing time till my turn comes up.
