Sony Ericsson w600
AKA the beast phone
After a bit of searching, I decided on a new phone. The Sony Ericsson w600. No gadget has been this cool since I got my iPod.
Sweet features:
+ Full Bluetooth support (headset, file transfer, even HID- meaning you can use the phone as a mouse for your computer)
+ 256MB of memory which holds about 50 (full-length, full-sized) mp3's
+ Includes USB cable that you can attach and access as a USB storage device
+ Built in mp3 player with COMFORTABLE in-ear headphones!
+ Headphones double as handsfree device
+ My car has an audio-in jack that allows me to connect a headphone cable to listen to music
+ When someone calls and my car stereo is plugged in, the person's voice comes over the stereo and the mic picks you up
+ Nice, loud speaker on the phone
Few changes that would be nice
- Expandable memory (oh well, I have an iPod...)
- Can't use my phone as a bluetooth modem (I suspect Cingular wanting money has something to do with this)
- Weird default orange color (fortunately it comes with a nice dark blue one, too)
Current Distraction: Scrubs
