21Making the Smartphone Jump
Confession: I haven’t made the smartphone jump yet. I am so close, I just haven’t done it. I used to use the price as an excuse why I hadn’t bought one but now they are in the same price range as any of the other phones I might buy from AT&T.
Funny story: at one time I had a smartphone, but for reasons that I can’t remember, I ended up giving it to my step mom who needed a new phone. I had to convince her to take it; she was against having to pay for a data plan. So I told her,” just take it and see if you like it”. I also reasoned with her that in the big scheme of things, the data plans were not much more expensive than the other rate plans available.
I’m not sure what came over her, but once she started using it the rest was history, as they say. My dad claims that she doesn’t need a husband anymore now that she has her smartphone. He claims he’s joking, but deep down, I think he might be jealous of the smartphone!
So what is so great about this phone? I found an article about a mom that uses her smartphone to help her with her grocery shopping and stay informed when she’s out and about with the kids. That explained it all to me and if you’re on the fence like I was this article just might change your mind. I know it changed mine. In fact, I am buying one at the end of the week. I will follow up to let you know how the transition goes and if I can make my smartphone do all that the article says it will do. My fingers are crossed. Supermomdom will be mine, I can feel it!

2Perfect Timing
After my last device review of the Nokia E71X, I realized “hey, I kind of like reviewing devices.” So the devices team at AT&T sent me a Samsung Eternity so I could try out the new Mobile TV feature. I was hesitant at first because I’ve never been a fan of the typical TV feature options on devices. I’m a “now” person. Need everything live and now. The buffering on other devices would drive me nuts and it was always just clips, not the full show, which just didn’t work for me. Funny enough, we were in the process of moving when I received the Samsung Eternity and therefore had no TV at the new place yet. After keeping my 8 year old busy for most of the day, I was dying for some TV time when I realized I had TV in my pocket all along! The Mobile TV feature could not have come at a better time!
So Johnny and I both had our turns watching Mobile TV on the device. It was so awesome, neither of us wanted to give it up. It was just as if we were watching TV on our home television. First, it has a guide with the channel, time and show listed, just like we’re used to having at home on a regular TV. You could look to see what’s on or scroll ahead to see what’s coming. Second, it had a lot of major channels – 14 channels currently. It covers everything from news, primetime, kids to sports channels. Third, no buffering!!! Yea!!! It was live, like normal TV! It also has parent controls and left me wondering, why don’t I have Mobile TV on my current personal device? This is so cool! The only thing it didn’t have is my DVR, which we know I’m addicted to.
The one drawback I came across was having to hold the device for so long. I needed a holder or something to keep it propped while watching TV.
Anyway, I have to say I was very impressed with Mobile TV and I’m planning to do a video review of the feature soon so you guys can actually see it for yourselves. I hope to see this feature enhanced and offered on more devices in the future.
Where would you see yourself using Mobile TV?
