Thank you Sony for saving me last week! My BlackBerry key pad jammed and went in for repairs for 3 weeks.. Yes three weeks! BlackBerry goes out of their way to convince me that BB is the only way, I get hooked and as soon as there is a technical problem I am left high and dry.
Enter Sony Xperia X8. This Gorgeous little android was mine to test and it arrived at exactly the right moment.
It was adapt or die, on the work front! As I am on the road as a rep most of the time I need to be in contact. E-mail connection is vital to monitor orders coming in and out of the roastery and ensuring customer satisfaction. So I quickly loaded my mails and was good to go.
It was not all roses though, as I didn’t have my unlimited internet connection and the second I walked out of my work Wi-fi zone, it started charging me, not to mention the tone of sms’s I had to send as I no longer had BBM.
That of course is not the phone, but rather the unforunate contract I am locked into for another year!
Apparently Band Width is getting cheaper and Android will soon be on the up! Especially when people like me, who thought they where sold on BlackBerry, have it taken away and are forced to test what else is out there!
What I liked about the X8, was how personal the system is. I know lot’s of devices put pictures next to contact details but the X8 just seemed to do it better, so I had my best friends face behind all the messages I read, it was an awesome touch to the timescape. I am not techi, so that is what turned me on.
It took a while however to get used to the touch screen, but I quickly found out how incredible the predictive text was and given a few more days, I would have been up to speed.
It is beautifully compact, yet has a big screen (easy net browsing) and a great camera for those happy weekend moments.
Over all it totally outshines my old BB in looks and system. I can’t help but miss my BBM and internet connection. Any advice Sony?
Yours
Lady Kate
