With the new school year started, I wanted to give you the updated info about brand new PDAs and smart-phones that have recently hit the market. Tmobile introduced it’s new smart-phone: the MyTouch 3G. This new item is Tmobile’s spin on competing with other devices such as Sprint’s Palm Pre and AT&T’s infamous iPhone. The reputable technology and product review source CNet has the inside scope on every device, but here are my thoughts:
After trying multiple brands of PDAs, the one I currently use is Apple’s iPhone. The iPhone far surpassed my expectations on compatibility and being user friendly. It makes everything I need to do for classes simple and easy when I don’t have access to a computer, in addition with being my iPod.
Though I haven’t tried out the new Tmobile phone, I have had an opportunity to take a look at the Palm Pre. This device simply feels good in your fingers (a feature I really enjoy considering my large gorilla like hands). The screen clarity is very good and also has the option of a touch screen. The only thing I am not keen on is it is a slider phone. It has a full key pad, but again due to my massive phalangies I can not type a text message to save my life. I would have even greater difficulty responding to emails consistently with this key pad like I do on my Apple iPhone. Overall, it is a quality phone new to the market which many students seem to enjoy.
Let us know your thoughts and experiences on all three phones!
