I want an iPhone. Sprint/Nextel is allowing their North American iDen network to deteriorate slowly. I doubt it is deliberate destruction, but I suspect that as components in the network fail they just neglect to replace them. I do not know this for a fact, but call quality and signal strength have been slowly slipping into the worse and worse category.
My i580 is still a rugged and capable phone, tough as nails, useful as a phone – but the network it is on is growing old.
My replacement Palm Tungsten C is having the same screen issues that the old one had. Every once in a while it stops taking touchscreen input… very annoying.
The iPhone seems to be the logical choice to replace both, though notes still don’t sync to the desktop (come on Apple, this is a show stopper). I am stuck with a smaller and smaller investment left on the Nextel/Sprint contract (March 2009 is the end of my two year lock), and at some point Apple will release a new iPhone; but to be honest, the old one is plenty good enough if they’d just fix the software flaw and allow notes to sync to the desktop.
Oh – it would be awesome if Apple bluetooth keyboards worked with Apple bluetooth iPhones… wouldn’t it?
