SubscribeWell I have been looking at phone options, while the Treo650 works for me, it’s lack of updates from Palm and the emergence of the Treo680 just leave me to yet again see Palm abandon a widely used device – so I have been looking at T-Mobile & the “Dash
“, first thing… it’s Windows Mobile, I realize that, but Palm while having their own OS really spec’d out their WM Treo’s leaving the GSM models with PalmOS in the dark ages, while I have more software apps than ever to help “fix” small Treo issues, and enhance functionality – off the bat would be nice.
On top of everything else one thing I have been looking at is T-Mobile Hotspots as a place to work during the day, granted I am not a coffee drinker, but none the less there are 15 locations, most Starbucks… okay all Starbucks with the exception of 3 (Borders, Kinkos, a Hotel) – there are 2 locations within 5 miles from me, so if I want to stay close to home, or be “hip” elsewhere, lots of areas to choose from it seems – plus Starbucks makes Tea – so I’m set – T-Mobile’s new data plan fits me as it has the GPRS/EDGE (or so it seems) + Hotspots for $10 more than I am paying now for unlimited GPRS/EDGE.
Other reasons, the money of Feb. I went over on my minutes (currently have 600) one was a 108 minute call from this guy we’ll simply call “JshR” …. he knows who he is… lol – not that he really “caused it” or anything, but enter the wonderful world of myFav’s from T-Mobile, which would let me have friends/business on other networks be a free call, and with a project I have in the wings, it might not be a bad idea, could allow for some ease of calling in the coming weeks/months as this project takes shape and hopefully flight.
War of the Satellites film Features & Function is a nice jump, 1.3mp camera (great for otg on flickr), bluetooth 2.0, Windows Media/Office – ease of getting things rolling in that dept – but with a 2GB microSD card I cold easily get a good chunk of documents, music, and some photos on the go, granted the 1.3mp isn’t much, but it’s something 
The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc dvd
So later today (little after 10am) I am going to go down and check out the Dash, ask a few questions about the package, and see what sort of magic the corp. store for T-Mobile can do for me, as a long time customer, referral king, and someone they have been trying to get off their $20 a month unlimited GPRS/EDGE plan, I am sure they’ll be happy to work with me 
but if not, then – no skin off my back, I’ll save a little bit, and get the Treo680 in a month or two, sadly no 1.3mp camera, but I’ll survive.
Well on with the day, wish I could say I was just waking up, but not the case – have a good Monday folks!
