Sounds sweet....

...until they realise that serious photographers want DSLRs and serious nerds want decent phones with only a camera to take furtive upskirt pics of women they can never have.

HTC Touch Pro2

Upgrade

I have just upgraded from a Tytn2 to a an Iphone 3gs. I really liked my Tytn2 but when the vowels stopped working on the keyboard i have to start using the stylus with the touch keyboard. Bleugh.

Oh well.

Fair play

That's at least one lord a leapin' into my heart.
