The Clog

This started as a blog about living abroad for 7 months, but the reality of getting a job has me talking about other topics while in between countries. (Above photo taken on return trip from Mexico, 2008. Looks like castles in the sky.)

the Nexus One superphone vs the blackberry

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/05/google.nexus.announcement/index.html

as cool as this sounds, (never having to text by typing again), i may stick to my blackberry. with the arrival of the iphone, many people jumped on the bandwagon to find that there were many flaws; lengthy phone bills, missing functions, connectivity issues, missed calls, the new dock not fitting, the battery running out and a plethora of other mishaps.

with regret, my trackball, after two years of being spun, pressed and tickled, is now showing signs of dimentia, as i now have to voice dial since the address book icon doesn't respond when clicked. but that doesn't stop me from loving my blackberry.

it has every application i could possibly need, it's small, sexy and fits into my little hand. even after two years, it still looks like a new model. it never drops calls, misses calls, and there is even a flash on my camera, which iphones lack.

the nexus one is operated by google, which automatically interests me, but why would i let my loyalties slip from the blackberry to the nexus one just because its a newer model? my blackberry has been monogamous to me, forgiven me when i dropped it. heck, it has traveled more than most people i know. what happened to the days where you had one number, and you could call someone to ask if they could play? the blackberry makes these conversations simple. and that's all i want. a phone that works.
