cellrater

Can you believe it? – I have been so busy with work I haven’t even bothered to buy a new phone in almost 6 months! My current handset is a Sony Ericsson S500i which is amazing by the way (except for some cracking keys but that’s a different story). The problem is, I am ITCHING for a new handset. At the moment I am eyeballing two nokia phones: the Nokia N95 (8gb) and the Nokia E90.

The N95 is hands down, AMAZING, and has everything I would ever want in a phone except for the full size keyboard. Honestly that is the only real fault I can give it, the only other thing would be its size but its not much bigger than my old N80 so I think I can live with that.

A full size keyboard has been beckoning me though, and although some of the new blackberry phones are looking good I just don’t think I could handle the tiny qwerty setup. That being said, as far as qwerty phones go the E90 is the grand-daddy of them all with a grand-daddy of a price to boot… around $900.00! It also has a huge beautiful screen which would be great for watching movies away from home.

Decisions, decisions… I almost talked myself into purchasing one of the new sidekick LX models today but decided against spending 300 dollars on a phone that is subpar for my standards. I know I would just be bored with it in 2 weeks anyway, no point in extending my contract on a locked phone.

Someone please help me, what would you choose? The powerful and beautiful n95 or the ultimate but HUGE E90?

So I guess my last post was on July 9th; almost 5 months ago. Its really strange that almost half a year has passed so quickly… Every week I tell myself that I will be working on cellrater again, and every week I come home exhausted and drained. I had the day off today and felt like writing so I sat down and logged into the admin for the first time in a long time and saw that there were 180+ pages of comments waiting to be looked at. I have spent the last hour of my life deleting spam over 3,000 comments of spam, it is insane.

Anyway, I think I have removed all signs of spam and things are looking up. It is almost a new year, so its time for me to buckle down and give this another go.

For some reason, cellphones have become my obsession. This blog is dedicated to that obsession; but its not just any phones that you will find here. I personally am not interested in the hundreds of low end models, and to be quite honest, most American handsets bore me. There are enough places to get information on the phones stocked by the top American carriers, if thats what you are looking for then this probably isn’t the best resource for you. My passion lies in the lesser known GSM phones that you typically wouldn’t find at your local T-Mobile or AT&T so that is what you will find here more than anything. Now, I have been known to toss in an article on a RAZR or the iPhone every now and then if it merits attention but my goal is just to highlight phones that interest me and hope that you (the reader) will enjoy looking and discussing the technology and these handsets from around the world.

So here is to a new year on Cell Rater (wish me luck)
