New Cellphone: Motorola W490
Sunday, December 9th, 2007I now have a new cellphone: The T-Mobile Motorola W490. Like all recent T-Mobile phones, it has their fabulous myFaves service and EDGE data. Like any respectable modern cellphone, it has Bluetooth 2.0 support, as well as a microSD slot, exterior screen, and 1.3MP camera.
Pros:
- World Phone (GSM) on T-Mobile USA’s amazing network, with free national roaming on both 850 MHz and 1900 MHz.
- Fast EDGE data with free tethering via the USB port or via Bluetooth (requires a proxy on the tzones plan)
- Uncrippled phone for the most part (Java apps have iffy Internet access, but I’m just on the tzones plan)
- Stylis “thin” Motorola phone, people thinks its a KRZR (at NONE of the cost)
- AIM/ICQ/Windows Live/Yahoo! Messenger
Cons:
- the Motorola buttons are a bit.. odd
- You can’t use exterior screen as an egocam
- J2ME applications can’t use the internet without some hacking that damages the built in applications
Got any more comments on this phone, T-Mobile service, what not? Hit me up in the comments.
