Phone Switch
When you consider how much time a pastor spends on a phone, it is a big deal when you switch phones. I just bought a HTC 6800 phone off of one of our youth members. Why? Because I absolutely hate my old Motorola Q and this buys me some time to wait on new phones that will be coming out next year. AT&T=no coverage, Sprint=no coverage, T-Mobile=no coverage and Verizon is just starting to cover the area. That leaves US Cellular as our only real current option. I’ve had the Q for a year and a half and I could fill a book with everything I don’t like about it. I really don’t want to enter into another 2 year contract, so by buying this phone I can wait a while until a Google Phone or an iPhone is available in our CDMA market.
So far, I’m really liking the HTC. It’s still not even close to my iPod Touch on ease of use, but at least it is customizable. You can even do a little hacking to get GPS working on it and you can even install the newer Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 operating systems. I like the touch screen and the slide out keyboard works great when responding to emails. It’s a little too thick, but for now I’m very content. For a gadget guy, that doesn’t happen very often.
