My new Windows Mobile phone.
Okay, so I was set on gettng an iPhone eventually, probably by persuading my friend Sam to part with hers and me switch to an O2 SIM card (I’m on a crap T-Mobile tariff right now). But then, only yesterday, I got a special offer email from Expansys for the Ubiquio 503G, reduced from 230 quid to just 99 - with no tie-in contract. Since it has a full, real QWERTY keyboard, and I need something that can hold 1000-plus contacts, I thought ‘why not?’ and clicked on ‘buy’. Good old Expansys had it delivered in under 24 hours (and on a Saturday morning) on the default cheapo delivery, and so here I am typing this post one-handed while carrying a sleeping baby. Try doing that with a laptop! Setup of this Windows Mobile 6 device is a doddle: I haven’t even looked in the manual yet. And the keyboard is pretty good for its size: certainly better than the Blackberry or iPhone when I tried them. Mobile blogging is pretty easy thanks to the moBlog software I downloaded using the phone’s 802.11 b/g capability, and is really helped by the extensive predictive text dictionary. I am pleased so far, and 99 pounds for SIM-free is definitely a bargain.
