Who Designed This Crap? Smart Phones Stink, PDA Phones Rule

[atsleep]

The writer of this article is incompetent when it comes to mobile devices. A regular phone is in no way smart, it is just a tool for voice calls and text messaging, at most you can sync it to outlook and get your address book in it. Smart phones are phones with operating systems that programs can be written for, ex: linux, windows CE/Mobile, Symbian but don't have a keyboard or stylus input. The ones that have a keypad and stylus input are PDA phones. The razr is a fashion device and nothing else.

Who Wrote This Crap? Must be from the US who thinks that the Moto RAZR crap is a smartphone. I guess it must be because it has color display? LOL. Smartphones are the SE P910/990/M600, Nokia N70/80/90/E60/70 series, Motorola A1200, you moron.

Hey. Just because that "Tool" Barry Gerber is in the US is no reason to judge us all. In fact I speak for the entire country when I say that Barry should go live with the french.

This article would have done better if it compared Blackberry against real PDA phones, like the HTC Wizard / Qtek 9100 / T-Mobile MDA Vario or whatever they are called in your country. These phones have a full QWERTY keyboard and Windows Mobile 5 and I use it to it's fullest potential with 3 mail accounts, chatting, IE, and all apps available. Here in Europe we have a hard time convincing bosses NOT to go for Nokia N70's, which are in the same range, and don't do it for me by a long shot. Kudo's to HTC and others realizing the shortcomings of all these small mainstream smartphones, and the need for small size / big screen / QWERTY keyboard and a well designed OS combination.

Funny article.


Comparing a Porcsche to a Kia!


I have a TMOBILE MDA (HTC 8XXX) i think. Now that is a smart phone. I had a Blackberry 79XX model, it was okay. The MDA is basically a small laptop, I can even manage my network from the built in Terminal Server client. Lol, beyond that all teh emulators and free software i dont see myself going back to a normal phone or "Smart" phone, PDA phones are just to damn powerful.
