I have been on vacation all week and out of pocket so I am trying to get caught up the best I can today. Cruising through the comments and new posts one of them really grabbed my attention. It is beautifully written and I think hits every key point of the AT&T Tilt & HTC TyTN II. It is authored by Brian Tate:

PUSH email isn’t a business application/use?

Word/excel/pdf/powerpoint access and editing isn’t a business use?

calendar, contacts, notes, plus some for 3rd party apps, that can be synced with a network or laptop/pc isn’t a business application?

a portable computer in your pocket with perpetual internet access isn’t a business application?

sure… if you’re a garbage man. LOL.

I’m an IT guy.. so you can imagine i’m pushin some funcionality to the max. not to mention option blackberry service support through att. so if you don’t like the blackberry os (like i don’t.. feels like stoneage next to windows mobile) but your company (like mine) doesn’t support microsoft exchange.. but DOES support blackberry servers….. it’s still a heavy contender

that’s without mentioning the obvious benefits of portable media, built in gps, voice recording (i use this a LOT), camera with VIDEO (poo on the iphone). c’mon guy… a heavy phone? i think you just don’t have a job where you can USE this extra function. i travel to different sites for my company, and manage spreadsheets and databases.. so when i’m out and about and get an email request for the latest pricing matrix.. i can either mail it off the storage from my phone immediately.. or vpn and get it… then send it… immediately.

no useable apps from a business point of view? man.. that’s almost laughable.

that’s just my day job… i won’t go into personal use (blogging, helping me earn some cash on the side with my musical endeavors, gaming, web browsing, mp3 player, video player… long flights on planes anyone? waaaaaaaaaaay better battery life over a stinkin ipod.. LOL… and then some.. with all the 3rd party apps…. that add even MORE functionality.. but like i said.. i won’t get into it.) My wife and I both use windows mobile phones (she has a blackjack and LOVES it). she’s not very tech savvy at all, but once i got her the 3125… which she quickly upgraded to a blackjack for the keyboard.. she was hooked and is never going back.

heavy phone…. indeed.

Well done Brian and thank you for posting!
