I'm ready to chuck my Treo 650 across the room! I'm on my third one, having had two replacements due to the audio jack breaking--and the bloody thing just broke again. Incredibly poor design. I've been waiting for Palm to get their act together and release a new smartphone with an updated PalmOS platform, but it seems they never will. So it's time for me to bid adieu to Palm and look for something else, and that (unfortunately) seems to mean Windows Mobile. Ick.
What's that you say? Don't I work for the
largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world? Yes, yes I do. But I don't want to leave Sprint, and Nokia makes exactly one phone for Sprint: the
6165i, an itty bitty flip phone that's not exactly a valid replacement for a Treo.
My requirements:
- Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP.
- WiFi.
- Java-capable (I believe any Windows Mobile device can run Java).
- Full QWERTY keyboard.
- Ability to tether to my laptop for modem use.
- Touch-screen.
- Sync with PC for contacts and calendar.
Browsing Sprint's smartphone selection, I'm drawn to the
HTC Mogul. It seems to cover all my requirements.
Any Sprint people out there with smartphone recommendations? Anyone used the HTC Mogul, either on Sprint or another carrier?
