My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love the Monkeewrench series of books, they’re really cool. And they’re really focused on your cyber crime/tech and modern-day thriller! As I work in IT and love technology this is write up my street! Nice read as well.
I opted out of getting a new iPhone and decided to get a BlackBerry (I like to call them CrackBerry)
I had previously used an LG GT505. I dropped this in the toilet (don’t ask!) soon after getting it but it had done it’s fair share after I had gotten it working again by thoroughly drying it out….
I had decided I’d gotten bored of having a touch screen. So in due course opted for a BlackBerry 9700 – it’s great, it syncs with my Mac, the keyboard looks small but it’s very usable and I have big hands. I am very pleased with it!
It does everything I want of it at the minute.
I shall update when I come across things I like.
Please note: the battery life isn’t great when you have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Facebook app, Twitter app, and MySpace app, as well as the email being pushed to your phone. Switch these off to preserve battery life. On the other hand it is a smarthphone. Oh, and the camera isn’t amazing, but then I have a camera if you want good photos!

I believe I am growing old, I am listening to Radio 2 driving to and from work, and I have decided that there is too much choice when it comes to buying a damn mobile phone.
Since the release of the iPhone every phone needs look like or act like an iPhone with a touchscreen and smartphone-esque features without being a smartphone, and also I don’t want to have something that costs four hundred pounds all the time.
If I wanted a camera I would buy a camera, not want to have a phone with a 12Mpx camera, or GPS. The iPhone is nice, but it costs to have it.
Today, I put my SIM card in a battered up Nokia I found in Lost Property – the battery still held a charge and the phone then rang when I called my number. Simple!
