I actually bought a new mobile phone… Not that I needed it urgently, but there are some circumstances that made the decision relatively easy.
First, I will change my contract with T-Com Germany to Call & Surf Comfort Plus. It includes – besides DSL 16.000 and of course the full wired phone / internet flat rate program – a Hot Spot Flatrate for all T-mobile WLAN spots! Since there are many T-mobile hot spots here, this means that I can go online almost everywhere: in the ICE trains, Mc Donalds (a reason to go there ;-), airports… The other reason was that I was a little annoyed by the synchronizing of my Outlook Calendar with my old Motorola RAZR V3i phone. It often happened that appointments were created twice, moved to different times or deleted. This is not the best thing that can happen when you rely on this synchronization. So it was time to change to a phone with better synchronizing capabilities and also with WLAN connection capabilities.
This is now the Nokia E60 for me. It can connect through GPRS, UMTS (if you want to pay this), WLAN, Bluetooth, Infrared, USB – the whole program. It has no camera… great since a camera is the very last thing that I ever missed in a telephone. It has the Symbian OS inside and a good calendar, so synchronization with Outlook works almost perfect now (the only issue is that time zones seem to be not supported). It is still slim enough to fit in my trouser pocket, so there is no need to carry around an extra bag for it. And it has a normal number keyboard, so that you can handle it with one hand. Perfect fit!
WLAN works great and with Fring I can now use Skype, GoogleTalk and other VOIP platforms directly from my phone. This means I can call home from abroad for SkypeOut rates (1.7c per min) – or call abroad very cheap… or call other Skype Users for free :-)! All this from my mobile with WLAN available… which is the case with the T-Com Hotspot flatrate. This is sooo sexxyyy ;-)
