still remember the days when my p800 was the shizzle , still remeber her slightly blueish tinted screen , body , and horrible camera (with no video) , then came the p900 with with a crystal clear screen , absolute eye catcher and status symbol , decent 3rd party image browsers , had skinnable ui , wallpaper too , but usability was being choked by the 128mb memory card limit so we came onto the p910i , a real beauty of its class , it could do it all ... gprs , listenin to mp3's on the bus while hangin in my favorite im app ... same thing i do today , the little guy was the future itself , then came the p990i which was so damn expensive , with a decent camera and stuff as wild and new as wifi(which wasnt nearly as popular back then) , as a result of that , by the time i was still waitin for the price to drop to a student affordable measure , they already set the p1i on its way with the 3.2mp cam that still blows away or rivals anything under 8mp , and soon after came the even more stylish , media oriented w990i , of whats enhancements soon made their way to the p1i (truly a modders dream) , months passed , and rumours started emerging of uiq being melted into symbian's touch series , and soon a new sony superphone started to outline ... windows mobile what could be that ?? "no ! i dont want to give up my programs , fansites , themes and wallpapers , for this unknown invader to sony's smartphone department !! what are they thinking ... but it looks so S(ony)E(riccson)X(peria)y with the cute micro laptop form , and the 528 cpu instead of the current 208 ... i might aswell give it a try ..." sadly , sony fanatics were in for a world of hurt , pain and brainwater boiling every time they picked up their style-piece , controversial little guy it was , those who first saw it were amazed , but the owners , only they knew well how many headaches they could thank their little mate for , slow , hot , endless menus to get something simple done , ram shortages , freezes , reboots , reformats , rom changes , only for it to start again a week later ... what has one to do , to get back a usable phone , to end this nightmare ? .... "-wow they just put out a beast of a phone check it out , its 1ghz !! man your gonna get blown away , 4,1" screen , webpages load in 20s , apps open near instant , those crazy japs , darn it !!" but as you'd know , a t*rd of an os can be only polished so far , the headaches caused by sluggishness faded away , but in came others , including but not limited to , uusb > headphone jack adaptor to be sticked in the right side of an almost 3 inch wide phone (really????) , mp3 playback cutting out when u turn your screen off in 10 music players out of 10 , and stuttering when ur leg touched the screen in ur pocket using "blank screen mode" media players had , image/music/video players that would load up every last midi ringtone from your system , every last sound effect and bitmap from games and ur windows folder , and every last private recorded phone call and play them shamelessly without asking you Where to search for a database , freezes , reboots , no proper flash support and even more freezes .... alas , it became clear , that it was time for a change , the hd2 was the one in the sweetspot now , (comparatively)low price , beautiful hardware , amazing specs and last but not least , android , the new shine in the sky of mobile computing , bold move it was , being the kernel only half finished but whos been fishing knows well , the best catches are to be had right before the storm ... and so , the baby just grew(576mb ram) , and grew(1.5ghz cpu) , and grew(hd record imminent ) , great choice it was , for those who are early birds , do feast worms greatly ...
