going techno-geek

i recently purchased/gifted myself a sonyericsson p1. i figured with my new role, i need to a business phone that’s email on the go as well. i’m happy with with the phone, i can ready my office mail as well as my gmail account. the phone is feature rich that is right to the alley of what i’m looking for. however i have a predicament. by specs, the phone is only UMTS capable. i put the sim of my globe visibility in this phone. although it connects seamlessly to the internet and i can still use it as a phone modem, the full hspda speed would be utilize as i would want it.

for me to get the hspda speed, i need to buy this, the k850i. so far, it’s the only sonyericsson phone that is 3.5g (hspda) capable. it boasts of a 5 megapixel camera but i don’t need it. i rarely take pictures and i have a good digital camera to do that. oh yes, i can use the usb modem that globe gave me, but i rather not. the damn thing is not something i am fond of and it’s sticking like a sore thumb when i plug it in in my laptop. something that i am so offended seeing. and the fact that someone offered to buy it, the usb modem. see, a colleague lost her visibility and she’s still in contract with globe. she knows that i am not using my modem as i have used the sim card with my p1.

so if i do decide to but this one, i’ll use my personal line with this phone and the visibility with p1 so i can google and mail all i want without paying extra. but if i need to use it as a modem, i need to swap it so i can use the hspda speed. that turns me off. the mail client of k850i is no where near that of the p1. the thing that bugs me the most is that why sonyericsson decided to have the hspda connectivity tied to a camera phone and have their business phones still in the old ages of umts. really, i don’t get it.

am selling my not so old and not so used n80 internet edition. if you’re interested, shoot me an email. it’s bought from an authorized nokia retailer and still have the receipt, the box, cds, everything. and it’s black!
