Introducing "Mr. Phone"!!!

I found a Smart Phone that hit the market the previous day, told my friend Ken about it, and by 9:30 the next morning he proudly owned one. Of course I had to follow his lead (and I've been waiting for a Smart Phone 2003 to come out for a year), and I'm now the extremely proud owner of the Audiovox SMT 5600. It even has the second edition of the Windows Mobile 2003 software.

It really is great to have (in every measurable sense that matters to me) a true Pocket PC and cell phone in one device. The screen is larger than most cell phones I've seen, but obviously not as large as regular full-sized Pocket PCs. But that doesn't matter to me. I love the operating system, I think the camera takes better pictures than my old LG VX6000 that I had with Verizon, and I got a 512MB miniSD card so I can put lots of files, songs, movies, or whatever I need right on my phone.

Think about that for a second - my cell phone has a half a gig of memory on it.

The phone also came with a stereo headset so I can listed to music or talk on the phone. I thought that was a nice touch. It has built-in Bluetooth and I'm looking forward to getting it to sync up wirelessly (right now it syncs (and charges) through the USB cable.

I am really looking forward to writing some applications for it, possibly porting over my car lease application in preparation of my wife's upcoming lease expiration.

Oh, and by the way, anyone who hasn't done so should REALLY see Team America: World Police. It is possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen in my life.
