I tweet all day long. Facebook, Flickr and Twitter are on whenever my laptop is on. But that is only when I am in my room. (Well, ?all day long? is still valid as I spend most of my time at home tweeting.) I have yet to fully enjoy the benefits of wireless. To make matters worse, my new workplace is an hour and a half away from home so I spend a good three hours on the road everyday. I read books and listen to music but the three hours was still too long and my fingers were crying for entertainment that I finally decided to get a cell phone. Of course, iPhone topped the ?wanted? list but because I already have an iPod touch, I hesitated because it felt like I was getting two of the same kind. So, broadening my horizon, I searched all the recently launched mobile phones and Corby grabbed my attention.
In fact, I was fascinated with the product even before I checked whether it offered access to Twitter because of the unarguably pretty color. Pink in particular was the prettiest pink I?ve ever seen in phones. The fact that you can change the design as you wish with a cover of a different color was a plus. And most importantly! The SNS service! Even for the best design in the world, I wouldn't have bought it if it didn?t allow Twitter. Fortunately, Corby supports access to major SNS such as Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, Friendster and Orkut. The LCD screen is quite large compared to the compact handset, enabling easy typing. I?ve only been using it for three days now, but I am quite satisfied ? not to mention making my commuting hours more pleasant?
I also like the Bluetooth headset I purchased with Corby. WEP490 is a Bluetooth headset that has the same design as Corby. I wasn?t in a desperate need for it but I bought it because the design went well with Corby. But it turns out that freeing up the hands while talking on the phone was quite handy! If I get an incoming call while Tweeting, I just need to press the call button on WEP490 and I am all set! I can talk on the phone while still Tweeting. What I also liked was the call quality. I can hear clearly even in this windy season. I was worried about noise outside but maybe because of the ?Wind Noise Reduction? function, I can hear the other person?s voice clear and loud.
If you are an avid Twitter user like me and interested in getting a new phone, I strongly recommend Corby ? and WEP490 as a combo.
