this is my soliloquy…

nothing much to update except for the new themes and applications i have installed on my E71. Google Maps is significantly better than Nokia Maps. Mobbler‘s also pretty good. Mobbler is also an application from Google.
the only thing i’m not too happy about it is it’s UI. in my opinion, mystrands has a better UI than Mobbler but Mobbler‘s pretty easy to use.

went shopping this afternoon. got the E71 instead of the iPhone. so far so good. i like the size. it will take some getting used to but i’ll manage.
in fact, i’m currently blogging this post from my mobile. The keypad’s pretty small and the QWERTY layout on a cellphone would definitely take me awhile to get comfortable with but i’m not complaining.

i have a brand new browser and i am loving it so far. go google!
to date, i am using google mail, google calendar and google documents. now i am on a new google browser and it’s seriously looking pretty good. so far, performance wise, i have no comments as i haven’t exactly tried opening that many tabs yet. too early in the morning for me to play around with tabs.
anyway, will be giving Chrome a whirl before making it my default browser.
i want a smartphone. no doubt the iPhone is a pretty smart one but the fact that it really cannot do much in terms of file sharing leaves me at a dead end. i want some form of document editing too. i know the Nokia E71 has the office suite and it also has adobe reader.
i have been wanting the iPhone ever since it had been unveiled last year. i got myself an iPod Touch just because it looks and functions almost like the iPhone. however, the longer i wait, the more i had time to think. just what is it that i want out of a phone?
if all i want out of a phone is just to call someone and/or send sms, i can get by with any phone. i don’t really need the phone to play media because i already have an iPod. i don’t need a camera phone because i already have a camera. or had one. no idea what happened to my digital camera but it just wouldn’t take pictures any more. so now that i have eliminated the media player and camera from the phone’s function, it turns out that the iPhone has lost pretty much quite a bit of it’s appeal.
it can go online. so can the E71. the only thing the iPhone has going for it is pretty much its look. and the screen. form wise, E71 is about the same size and the same monoblock shape as the iPhone. the iPhone is less complicated than the E71 in terms of navigation and usability but the iPhone seems like it has a host of problems like for example, syncing issues.
the phone i will be getting will mainly function as a PDA and therefore, if the iPhone were to keep losing my data and all that, there’s no reason for me to get it. another reason for me to get the iPhone is also the mobileme thingy. so far though, all i’ve used mobileme for is just to sync my calendars.
ho hum. what should i do? what should i get?
