Alexis Nihon, its the best place to buy a phone. They Have a Telus store, a Bell Store, a Rogers boutique, a Koodo Boutique, a Fido Boutique, and a Solo Boutique. So today, I went there.
First, I went to the Telus store. They had all the new phones on display, but unfortunately, only the iPhone was available to actually use. First, the HTC Hero. I was able to touch the Hero, but it had that piece of plastic instead of a screen. There was the black version, and the white version; I’d really like to say that the black is really black, not like in Europe where its really brown. I think that’s really good. Next, the LG Chocolate, I don’t have much to say because I saw it yesterday (Click Here for yesterdays post), and the same thing for the Nokia E71. I was able to catch a glimpse of the Bold2 and compare it to the Tour. The Bold2 was even smaller than the Tour, but the keyboard felt a lot better because it was more of a matte finish. The back of the 9700 was very nice, but I can’t really feel it with that security lock in the way.
Next, I took a browse around the Rogers boutique, and they didn’t have the LG Eve, so I left because I was in a hurray.
At the Bell store, I was able to see the Omnia II; again, there were no live phones there, but I didn’t really care about the interface. The screen was bigger than what I had expected, and I found that center button just plain weird. The call and end keys were actually kind of like a ROKR switch with the home button in the middle. The end button actually wasn’t working (I couldn’t press it at all) when I saw it, but I think that’s really weird to get used too. After that, I got a chance to compare the Bold to the Bold2, and I really don’t think that RIM should have made the 9700 the 9000 successor, because people who have a Bold now, and are getting a Bold2 are going to have to take a while to adjust. Because the Bold was really supposed to be the heavy duty phone for people who e-mail and text all the time; now, this new one has a smaller screen, and smaller keyboard! What’s the difference between the 9700 and the Curve 8530. Sure, the keyboard is a bit better, but that’s a change that could have been done without wasting any money. I really don’t think a faster processor is really going to change the average BlackBerry users decision. I can’t say much about the Xenon, except that the keyboard is exceptional. The Nokia 6350 and 2730 are just like they advertise. And the Impact really isn’t much more than the average touchscreen feature-phone. If anyone has been wondering about that huge, new internet chip that’s on Bell. I saw it, and it’s actually not as big as it looks, and it uses that split USB technology to make it look thinner, like the one here.
PS: Sorry to readers that I might have written Nokia 6530 instead what it’s supposed to be, 6350.
