So Long Windows Mobile... Hello iPhone G3
I have been a customer of Sprint for 8 years with the same number. I pay $125 a month for the PDA plan with all the bells and whistles. While I loved the Mogul HTC 6800 (all the way at the bottom of the list) phone I got 3 months ago, it's a great improvement from my 6700 I used to have. However, Sprint service area are terrible and I'm tired of it. Over the weekend I made the switch to the iPhone G3 and WOW, what a difference in service and bells and whistles. While I am having some problems with Office documents and Adobe files, it's ok because I can view them on my laptop which is never very far away. I bought the G3 with 16 GB of storage for $299 ($199 for the 8 GB model, but you need the extra space for the extra $100) and I have 150 songs and the movie Armageddon loaded (the picture and sound is superior in every way) and still have 11 GB left. It has a built-in GPS and I can get driving directions and so much more than what I had before.
I can connect to my Exchange server, VPN built-in and can have multiple POP3 accounts. SO, 3 email accounts and it rocks. Another sweet function that I did not have on the Mogul was an easy way for 3 way calling. It's so darn easy now that I don't know what to do with it. AND, the Mogul phone keypad was SLOW AS DIRT and the keypad on the iPhone is lightning fast. Everything is lightning fast....
If you are in the market for a new phone and your a Microsoft junkie like me, how can anyone give you crap when you bought a perfect phone. Also get the high end ear phones that you can talk on. It's $100 more, but WELL worth it. I have the same type for my Nano. Anyone want to buy it? I have no need for it anymore.LOL..
Looking at it in the store is nothing until you get to bring it home and go crazy with it. GET IT! Don't worry Microsoft, I still run Vista and will never buy a MAC.... but the phone rocks to high hell!
