What kind of smart phone do you have?

[tk-421]

I think the BB you got is great, and it makes sense if you would rather use your phone to actually make calls and send messages and stuff. The Nexus One is basically a great little computer with lots of potential... But I've read that the call quality is not the best, and it can't be all that great to send a lot of SMS messages with a touchscreen.

So, in a nutshell, it completely depends on how much you actually use your phone as an actual phone, and how much use (or not) you would have from all the extra features that the N1 provides.

That's kind of the point exactly. I don't need to surf the net 24/7. A lot of people I know have gotten the iPhone instead of their land line or whatever. I already have a land line, + t1 everywhere I go. I think I'll survive if I don't have a full browser in my pocket for a couple of hours

So I think that BB will answer my immediate needs just fine (just the same way my Yaris gets me from point A to point B).

To be honest, I don't think the N1 is completely ready just yet. There are some little things that don't work quite right. For ex., you can do voice commands but you can't if you're using a blue tooth headset? It's got the fastest processor on the market, but it's having problems running on TMobile's 3G network? I don't know. I think I'm gonna let the kids do the beta testing and wait for the N2 or N3. We'll see.

There's going to be more devices on the market comes Spring, and you and I both know the minute the money changes hand and I buy something (anything!) then the next best thing will be released on the market.
