My cell phone sucks.
Today I am once again Blogging from the road using my cell phone. Normally this would warrant a “This is so COOL!” statement, but not from me. I guess I’m just not the kind of person who’s cut out for the “convenience” of using these stupid little keys for typing out anything longer than, “c u l8r 4 dinner?”
Know what I mean?
Anywaste, I just wanted to let everyone know that if you’re in the market for a new phone and are thinking of buying the T-Mobile MDA, don’t. Well, I should mention that the MDA is awesome for being a pda, for surfing the web, connecting to your Outlook contacts or almost any other pda-like task you could ever hope for your phone to do. Why do I hate it then?
Because it sucks as a phone.
It doesn’t hold signal at all, dialing is a study in frustration and the accidental cheek-pressing-button factor is extremely high. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend the MDA to anyone who relies on their cell phone for voice communication. Because it truly does suck for making or receiving calls.
And now I’m going to soak my thumbs in ice water.
Maybe try a Nokia 6822 or something like that. It’s relatively easy to type on, but still function well as a standard phone. Good for e-mail, contacts and agenda. It’s not so good for surfing, though.
You MUST get this as your replacement phone. I think I left mine in my natal cleft.
