T-Mobile SDA "Outpaces" 6682
This paragraph sticks in my craw:
"The SDA outpaces our previous Editors' Choice, the Nokia 6682 from Cingular. Though the 6682 is a fine phone, the SDA's Microsoft OS is glossier and more fun to use; the dedicated music buttons are welcome; and the Wi-Fi capability is truly amazing. We'd also give the SDA the nod over the RIM BlackBerry 7105t, which doesn't have any of the SDA's media capabilities."
Nokia probably has a superior product in the N80 - quadband slider with WIFI and a 3mp camera and Symbian 9 vs. the SDA's candybar with wifi, 1.3 mp cam and Windows mobile. But they've dropped the ball, getting beaten to market by a two-bit Taiwanese manufacturer. Jeez, even I'm tempted to pick up one of these dogs for a walk around the block... I want a quadband smartphone already, dammit. Is that really asking too much? ¶ 7:48 PM
