Back to normal
It surprised me how relieved I was last night when I took my SIM card out of the smartphone I had on loan and fired up my usual phone - normality returned, and there was almost a sigh of satisfaction.
It’s hard to pin the blame on any one aspect of the newcomer - it was a bit too big, it wasn’t a very good phone (usability of that side was terrible) nor was it a very good PDA (screen res was only a quarter of the Loox - 240×320 instead of 480×640). The 3G GPRS was impressive, but even though I wasn’t paying the bandwidth I still felt guilty and longed for guiltfree WiFi.
Having said that I feel the experiment was a success - I now know I’m happier with a phone being a good phone, and a seperate PDA.
Now who did I lend the Loox to?
