Tale of 2.5 Phones
I waited to get my first treo until they had 3G. I couldn't stand watching people wait days for downloads. I could get to a computer more quickly than they could get their phones to download. Once I made the jump, there was no going back. I have had Palm Treos from the 700p up to the 755p. I tried the Pre and that was a disaster to say the least. It had the potential of greatness, that was just a little bit before its time. I was sad when HP dumped the webOS because it had great potential.
I replaced my Pre with an EVO 4g. That was a great phone. The Android system is fantastic. My EVO did develop and issue and when replacement wouldn't charge Sprint upgraded me to the EVO 3D. What more could I ask for. This is the best phone ever. I don't even need the camera and the 3D. The speed of the OS, the HTC Sense 3.0, the memory usage or the integration of social media, contact, phone and really all the HTC apps is amazing. This phone is almost perfect. My only issue is the syncing with Outlook on my desktop, my iPad and MacBook.
After upgrading to iOS 5, I realized the Apple iCloud has fixed the syncing issues of all the other systems. Sprint made me yet another great deal and I am going to get an iPhone 4s that will not replace my EVO, at least at this time, but is augmenting it. I am going to look at both phones as a REALTOR(r) that does tech training and coaching and decide what phone is better for what type of Realtor.
This will be a series of blogs. I am going to keep the title a Tale of 2.5 Phones because the EVO's are not that different. They are both great phones and do basically the same things, other than what I mentioned before and the price point of the 4g is making it hard to justify the 3D.
I look forward to your comments and these are all just my opinions. I have owned a computer since the mid 80's and had a cell phone since the days of the big Motorola bricks. I am not getting paid for this, so it should be about as balanced as I can do! I hope it helps.
Look for part two later today or Monday.
Pat, I was very happy with my treo, and had to return my pre as it wouldn't sync with my Brokerages e-mail server. I am ready to give up on the blackberry that replaced my pre and am looking at the many options out there
