I just love the hitech gadget market. One day before this year’s macworld iphone announcement I had to renew my contract with O2, hoping for a shipping iphone, but alas, none of that. My contract is up for renewal in 18 months, time enough.
In the previous weeks I had the pleasure of comparing various offers of german mobile providers as well as many different mobile devices.
My choice, after quite some time of serious searching, fell on the Nokia N73, mainly due to its Symbian OS, nice camera with Zeiss lenses and its brick form factor. The direct competition up till then was the Sony Ericsson “Bond” mobile phone, but somehow the feeling just wasn’t right. Hey we are talking mobile phones here, not tech-features. And SE has just put me off with its super-crappy T290i, which I got for free, but which also is about as slow and uncomfortable to use as it gets. Long live my previous Siemens C55. Much better and with more character.
But then I should have known: never get a first-generation technical device unless necessary. And this applies to the iPhone as well. My advice to all: wait for iPhone 2.0, or at least the first true 3G iPhone, iPhone UMTS or whatever it will be called.
