About 25% of my day goes to telephone calls and yes, the other 75% is spent e-mailing, managing my social networking campaigns (as in plural). I'm a loyal fan, uh hem, customer of Verizon, but my recently purchased LG enV Touch only provided the now standard cell phone features. It went a bit further with allowing me to store and view Adobe and MS Office documents. Yay? Nay.
Most executives need a little more than that, so I opted for the HP 1151NR netbook, which works like a charm and is about the same size as one. Guess what, I still wasn't happy as I felt uncomfortable on crowded Los Angeles public transportation lugging a laptop, though small, in my oversized misshapen Versace knock-off bag. That was for the birds.
In doing a little client research, I thought a Blackberry would suit my needs. Nay. They didn't. I wanted super incredible, mobile, light-weight, small, extremely functional phone/PDA/whatchamacallit and I was just short of praying for one when I found the HTC Touch Pro2.
The deal makers (which slightly makes me consider it for a marriage mate) is its size, about the same as my enV Touch, it's touch screen, full QWERTY keypad (soft keys so I won't get caught typing in quiet meetings), Windows Mobile 6.1, the ability to CREATE and edit MS Office documents, Mobile Broadband, Global VZ Navigator capability, Windows Media Player, Global SIM card pre-installed, and of course many envied applications that silence the taunting iPhone commercials. So far I'm stuck at the bubble popping game, but then again I'm slightly obsessive compulsive. What's new?
Hey, not only does Verizon have a map for that, Verizon has the best network, the best customer service and, as a result, the best phones. If my little entrepreneurial rating would count in the grand scheme of PDA recommendations, then I pronounce the HTC Touch Pro2 THEE PDA for a person seeking touch screen functionality with many of the basic pluses of a business computer.
Be sure to send me your addresses so that I can invite you to my PDA's and my wedding.
