I like the idea of a smart phone. One device to handle my calendar, tasks, web browsing, texting, picture/video messaging, etc…..I’ve used many smart phones over the years and they all disappoint.

My first smart phone was an audiovox windows ce device. I had no camera, ran at dialup speeds and mixed sms messages with email. Yuck! On the up side, it was fairly slim and light. Battery life was fairly impressive.

The Palm Treo 650 was much better. It has a camera, is easy to use sorts SMS messages like bulletin board threads and has a lot of stamina. Unfortunately, it’s fat, heavy and has a bulky antenna. Plus, the camera is just a weak 1.3 Mps and its multimedia ability sucks.

Windows CE phones cant display websites for shit. Fortunately, they run fairly well and have a nice feature set.

The iPhone has a decent web browser….and thats it.

Why cant there be some marriage of these features that….well….works?
