"Maybe you're a Blackberry user, or Symbian, or Windows Mobile, or iPhone. To be honest it doesn't really matter. What really matters is that you've got a device that works for you."
Oh, I wish! My current phone is an HTC Tytn (actually the T-Mobile badged version). At the time I bought it, it was pretty much the best fit available for what I wanted, yet I still don't like it. The keyboard is small and awkward to use, the screen resolution poor, the OS is laughable and the GUI atrocious. Sync with my Exchange server is less reliable than the Northern Line, and none of the 4 browsers I've had installed are much cop. I've managed to improve things a bit by adding lots of 3rd party software, such as a not entirely kosher upgrade to WinMob 6, an easier to use free GUI (PointUI), the aforementioned assemblage of browsers, plus a bunch of other applications and sundry registry hacks. The only apps I actually like on it are Google Maps and Mobipocket. Still, it makes a decent 3G modem for my laptop. There are times when I wonder if I wasn't better off with a dumb phone and my old Psion 5.
