Do I Really Want A Cutting-Edge Mobile Phone?…

This is the question that perhaps all of us mobile phone users and afficionadoes–okay, mobile phone geeks–ask ourselves every few months (or even weeks). When the mobile manufacturers come out with their latest models, or when the telcos come up……

Yeah, hPDA rocks in some circles. There seems to be quite a backlash to low techies now.

Ah, yes. Who couldn’t resist the hipster PDA?

Tried that. Gave up after a few days.

I thought Q-tek was good, but it didn’t have English T9! And I rely on T9 80 percent of the time (even when typing in tagalog).

On hacks, well, it’s mostly in the apps and tools I’ve installed, and some registry tweaks via RJV’s regtweaks UI–oh, and the original USB cable-turned USB charger hardware hack!

But I’ve come to realize that once the novelty wears off, your high-tech smartphone just turns into one of those texting and calling machines with fancy addressbooks and calendars most of the time.

Case in point: my main calendar tool is Google Calendar, and not my SmartPhone’s. I’m not really into MS Outlook. That might change, though, once people get to work on the GCal API for syncing with Outlook.

wadjaknow… I use the HTC Tanager myself… unlocked, updated (Q-Tek) but I got tired of hacking it over and over again once this phone’s mem’ry gets a bit crazy and won’t load the system anymore. Just wondering what hacks u’re using… I believe you’ve been to http://www.airfagev.com haven’t checked them out for a while now.
