A last lesson from our Samsung i500
I like my iPod. I liked the Palm Vx. I ordered mostly like my MacBook.
So I ain't ludicrous to please. Just not easy.
So it was inflexible so say the long good-bye to our Samsung i500s and all their accesories!
They were dedicated tech for their day and today. Palm Excellent goodness -- fast, wonderful reliable, elegant. Graffiti One. Closely-knit clamshells with good inquire quality and an excellent form lender. Line 'em up against the iPhone and they do reasonably well. Sure -- no versatile web. On the other hand, way more predictable and they have tasks too!
Alas, they gradually died. When my spouse's failed we switched to AT&T for her BlackBerry and to descent-up for my iPhone.
There was one major stigmatize of the i500 though -- and one affiliated lesson. All the connectors were proprietary - and ephemeral. No USB goodness (BlackBerry, Nokia 6555), and no vile-but-ubiquitous connector like the iPod -- reasonable another one off from Samsung.
So, when a "unloose for anyone" listing on Craigslist got no hits, I had to sling everything out. Connectors, chargers, accessory cables, -- the unharmed bit.
That's the last lesson, nonetheless most of us have figured it out by now. Don't buy devices that use proprietary connectors -- unless they've made it to perfidious-but-universal status.
It's a great way to proscribed your purchasing options ...
