So I’m thinking of buying a windows machine…

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

No, I’m not selling the iMac. No, not vista. Not XP, either. Windows CE

Yes, it’s new phone time, new contract time, and it looks like I’ll be able to have pretty much whatever I want. My friends are all going for the N95 8GB Nokia (we couldn’t afford the iPhone, even if it was offered on business tariff), but I’m just not getting on with the interface. Don’t get me wrong, the feature set is fantastic, and the camera with Carl Zeiss optics among the best I’ve seen on a phone. iSync integration with the macs is good. But I just don’t enjoy using it.

So I’m thinking of one of those HTC smart phones. In particular either the Tytn II (also known, I think, as the Vodaphone 1615 or the o2 XDA Stellar) or something similar without the largely pointless keyboard, assuming I can find one on tariff which isn’t processor crippled in comparison.

So, windows CE… does anyone know much about it? How difficult will it be to sync to the macs? How do people find the interface? Any comments welcome as always.
