Going Amish
by admin ~ October 3rd, 2007. Filed under: random life.OK, my phone is about dead. The keypad on my Treo 650 is completely out. Occasionally it will revive itself, but it only lasts for moments. 2 years of very intense usage is bound to take its toll on any phone I suppose. (I actually went through 2 Treo 270’s before this one—talk about old school!) Officially, I am nearly Amish—no phone, texting or digital calendar…
So, here’s my quandary…should I get another Treo or go back to a regular phone (& a pda)? I enjoy many of the features of the Treo, but find I use fewer features on it than I did when I used regular pdas (Handspring Visor Platinum and Palm m105). So, some of the things I must consider: weight, bulk, frustration of being phone-less and pda-less when broken …of course, I love how easy it is to text with a qwerty keyboard…
Some ideas for phones:
iphone (but who am I kidding? I’m on Verizon.), LG enV and Samsung SCH-u740.
This may seem like a trivial decision, but I’ll be stuck with it for 2 years or more…any suggestions?
