Yet another gadget that I want, but don't actually need!
This time it's the Motorola i930 smartphone (circa 2005). This geek device is am iDEN phone which also sports a triband GSM radio!
This means that you can not only use it with any iDEN carrier globally, but pretty much with any GSM network globally! That gives you a lot of carrier options! So why don't I need it? Well simple, I don't plan on switching to Nextel or Boost Mobile (for one reason), and I already own a GSM phone!
The other question is why would anyone not want it?
1. It sports an ancient version of Windows Mobile (version 2003) and the phone came out after WM5 was released!
2. No Bluetooth! I admit that I don't use bluetooth that often, but I do use it!
3. Bad battery life (according to reports anyway)
4. It is STILL $200 or so dollars!!!

At least it syncs with the Mac ;-)
