Beauty and the Beast

I may not be the beast, but she sure is the beauty =D.

Just got my Nexus One! It’s gorgeous.

Similar specs to iPhone 4 (5MP camera with auto-focus, a bunch of sensors, 512MB RAM, 1GHz ARM CPU, etc), without the Communist Apple touch.

Can change the battery, has SD card (instead of way overpriced internal memory), has native msn client, has flash, and you can actually decide what you want to run on it =P.

Going to use it with Wind’s cheap data plan =D ($35 total for 500MB/month is amazing)

Got it without contract for some big pile of money. The Xperia X10 can be had for almost free with Rogers 3 years contract, but I don’t like contracts, and I don’t like Rogers (or any of the big carriers for that matter). Wind may not have cute animals on their site, but their attitude sounds so much better. They actually make sense.

It’s funny that I’m into smartphones because I don’t really talk on the phone all that much. About 2 seconds a day calling my mom to pick me up, and a few hundred texts a month to my dear friend Cindy about… things that you wouldn’t want to hear about. And then there are the occasional tennis invitations that always end up nowhere for some reason… But otherwise not much at all!

I use my phone as anything but a phone. I’m thinking about using a phone without a plan… hmm. I wish they would just sell data =P. Otherwise it will just be an expensive ebook reader.

Trivia: Linus Torvald, the “inventor” of Linux, also got a Nexus One! He is very picky about phones, and only buy phones that run Linux.

    Glad you like it. You better be running 2.2 by now though :p

    you can just get data. you can get the laptop data stick plan and just put the sim in your phone. Thats actually what i’ve done this month. You just have to convince them to just sell you the sim. Come to the wind store that I go to and i can convince them for you.

    I’ll let you borrow my sim for a few days, so you can try out the data everywhere.

      haha it’s a good phone!

      I was just a little tired of winmo.

      6 was a lot better than 5, tho (you flashed 6 right?).

      let’s hope 7 works on it too =P.

      Oh nvm. They have taken the Apple route.
