A Phone for Both Work and Play
With the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 today (and the “Windows phone” brand which drives me insane with it’s annoying capitalization), Microsoft had an event/party on campus promoting that Windows phones were good for both work and play. I need to decide if I want to spend the money and get a new phone now since it shouldn’t have any impact on my being able to get a WM7 phone when it launches next year based on rumored launch dates. I’m just afraid that while it might be cool initially, it won’t stack up to my iPhone in certain ways that I’ve gotten used to using it and I’ll be torn between which one to use.
I started my Netflix trial today, so while I’ll maybe be able to get all of two or three movies by the time it expires, I can at least get a feel for shipping times and if I like the service. I can also set up Watch Instantly on my 360 which has a pathetically small selection outside of the TV realm (and to some extent, even within it), but it will be something cool to try out. Even if I only get two movies from it a month it’s still cheaper than Blockbuster, and with a queue I have that’s already up to 30 discs, it seems like I should be set for quite a while.
