iHaTePiNk.com! - As Fate Would Have It

Monday, October 02, 2006

So I've been continuing to look for my next cell phone with my desired features and at a reasonable price (on the condition that I renew my contract for 2 years). Well, I finally found the phone of my dreams.

The Samsung t609: has bluetooth, the headset jack is separate from the charging port, and may be the only Samsung phone that CAN access the calendar while talking without interrupting the conversation.

And well, T-Mobile took it off the upgrade program 2 days ago. Curses ...

Just one of the many letdowns these past few days.

Update: Thank you, tmobile.com, for having all the user manuals in one place (under "Support"), and thus being even more complete than that stinky samsung.com website. Thank you for having user manuals with an "Options During a Call" section. Now, thanks to you, I now know that among your current selection of Bluetooth phones, the Samsung t519, t609, t629, and t719 can all access the calendar during a phone call without interrupting the call.

And the search continues ...

just make sure you go try out the phones before making a decision. I have a motorola something and it works well, but it's getting a little beat up. carlos's is a motorola v80 which has everything you want (calendar, bluetooth, id ringers, access calender without interrupting a call) but there is an odd little delay when you do anything. like, when you push "end" to hang up, it takes like, a full second to disconnect the call, so we have to be careful to wait until the call is ENDED before we say "whew, glad we're off the phone with Caro" :)

annie - I sort of already have a bias against Motorola phones, actually. Unless this has changed recently, I feel their user interface is not intuitive and frustrating to navigate. I suppose that could be overcome with familiarity, but your feedback here is not helping my view of Moto phones. :)
