Technology- Phones
I’ve had this Samsung SCH-630 phone for the last two years now and the thing is almost dead. A week ago
something was loose and it could never get a wireless connection. Earlier today something was loose and I couldn’t
hear in the ear-piece (although I did figure out a work around of using the speaker-phone mode but that sucked).
I’ve looked around a bit and right now the choices seem to be-
a) Treo 650.
b) Treo 700.
c) Samsung i730.
d) Wait for the next great thing and tough it out while my phone dies a slow death.
(d) is the inertia plan, but its getting harder every day. The problem is that I’ve seen some really bad
comments on the Internet about the Samsung, and neither Treo is clearly better than the other.
The 650 is cheaper, has a better screen and I’ve heard nice things about the palm software although
using friend’s phones I also find it somewhat confusing at times.
The 700 is supposed to be somewhat faster and its probably easier for me to build cool stuff for. But it costs
$200 more and it feels like such a 60% solution. I’m really disappointed they didn’t include wireless and I’m just
pissed at Verizon for disabling the feature that would let you use it as an internet connection for your laptop.
