Phone Envy


I hate my Samsung Blackjack 2, which I got so I could read EMail and have a real Internet browser. Among my complaints:
  • The Windows CE operating system (pronounced "wince") locks up giving me the mobile blue screen of death. The only cure is to remove and replace the battery.
  • Every other day or so it decides to turn the "phone" part of itself off without warning. It looks like it's still functioning and consuming battery -- and it is -- unless you want to get phone calls or text messages.
  • Thanks no doubt to the EMail software I have installed on it, it occasionally will spin up a thread that sucks all battery life from the phone.
I may have to convert to the new iPhone shortly. Or the one advertised above.

I'd make sure to get the optional Taser feature. Just in case. FYI: I'm not totally enamored with my blackberry either.
