My new phone

Posted by John on June 29th, 2007

No, it’s not the iPhone.

It’s the Blackberry 7100T, released in 2004-2005. I got it for real cheap, aboutUSD70. I don’t plan on getting a data plan, so I won’t be using email or web surfing. It also doesn’t play any media files (audio or video), and for the moment I cannot even load pictures on it. (at least not for free).

However it does have a really nice keyboard, which allows me to write SMS very quickly, as well as take notes, using calendar and tasks.

It is also possible to load it with various applications. So far my favorite is Mobipocket Reader, for reading ebooks. I hope to read more books with this device in the future.

I am really satisfied with it for the price I paid, even though it doesn’t even have a camera.

But this is a huge step up from my previous phone, which I bought 6 years ago!!

    Bello e molto economico!
    Peccato per la fotocamerina.
    Anch’io prima o poi lo cambierò… Recentemente l’ho dimenticato in tasca mentre andavo in canoa al mare… Però funziona ancora!
