Me and My Smartphone
Posted by farshid under UncategorizedA while back I wrote about what I am looking for in a cell phone. Being in States now have made me realize that the choices are not anywhere close to what it was in Europe. Nevertheless I found a phone that I am very happy with. This phone I read about many months back when it came to the US market from a few RSS feeds. It’s the audiovox 5600 smart phone that runs on windows mobile and it really is awesome. I am still trying to figure some things out, but generally the phone is awesome, and the service, Cingular, is not quite as awesome. It regularly cuts, the SMSes sent to me don’t always make their way to me. Hopefully it will get better over time though.

Unfortunately wireless service is spotty–at best. I know SMS and two-way messaging services are pretty mediocre in this Country and Cingular has possibly one of the WORST messaging platforms of all the domestic carriers. They seem to struggle most with any inter-carrier traffic…
I do like the form factor of the Audiovox…I have some pretty sweet apps I’ll send over to you if the phone is unlocked and if you can install applications on it. Does the phone have an SD slot…
