We are sorry to keep you waiting, but hope that the new version, which includes SMS support, as well as data-triggered call back from the GV platform, will make you happy.

Lets at T-mobile G1 to the List

Yesterday I made a post comparing the Iphone Cost to the Palm Pre costs, and then even added in the Blackberry Storm. Well I don’t knwo how I forgot it, but what about the t-mobile Android G1 smart phone! So here are the results for the G1 for totalt cost of ownership:

I really like the Android Operating system and am thinking it its going to get really really good when Google really integrates Google voice with it.

Smartphone Cost: Iphone vs Pre vs Storm

The Palm Pre came out the other day while the Apple Iphone 3GS came out today so let the million of pointless head to head blog posts comparing the Pre over the Iphone and vice versa so of course I have to jump on the band wagon and write a comparing blog post so I am not the only blog on the internet not writing a post comparing the Pre and the new Iphone.

So Since I dont own either and am not really inclined to go overly nuts researching loads and loads of information I just decided to try and find which one would cost more, so instread of boring you with many more words here are two pictures that speak fore themselves:

Info thanks to Bill Shrink. So click that Bill Shrink Link if you want to try it yourself. I will try to maybe update this post to add my Blackberry Storm but maybe I dont want to see it on the cost line with these phones….

Updated: So I took the time to add the Blackberry Storm to. Yea I really love all my readers…or just bored

Why I will wait to use my Google Voice Account

I have been one of the lucky few to be able to get a coveted Google Voice Account from Google. It is an amazing and powerful free thingamajiger for doing all sorts of stuff with phones.

I can use an app called gv dialer on my blackberry storm to seamless integrate my Google voice number to call from my phone. The one problem is that texting is not seamlessly integrated into my phone and I have to use the Google voice mobile website from my phone to text. Or get each of my contacts 409 numbers which if you don’t what what those numbers are thats a whole another story.

So untill Google Voice seamlessly integrates texting onto my phone, I will hold my account until then. But once they do I can not wait because it will be happily using my Google Voice account. Untill then lets hope Google Moves fast.

Blackberry Storm Review

I just got my self a blackberry storm! its my first “smart phone” also my first phone with a qwerty keyboard which is super nice. I am am an Apple fanboy though, even though I am an avid Linux user, cause icant afford an Apple laptop, and hell would have to freeze over before I ever Used windows or should I dare even mention the word Vista….( I didn’t say that, you can ignore it). With that said I would love an IPhone but unfortunately the Iphone is not on Verizon and I am not switching networks, so my next best thing I can do for a nifty Internet cruising phone is the Blackberry Storm.
