    Download the HooK Show #58 Running time: 17:14 mins Topic 1: Considering Smartphones I red a few reviews on each phone: Cnet review of G1 , Cnet review of BB 8320 , etc... Looking for: good web experience, good MP3 player experience, Smart phone organizer. Free App and Game expandability, better camera experience, Qwerty keyboard for easier messaging Pros and Cons 1) HTC G1 - First generation device + touch screen and qwerty keyboard - always connected to data, hard to use if data stops - non standard plug for headsets + Android developers creating new functionality, all free. (except a few paid apps.) +Android community and forums + multi tasking OS + wifi connectivity-difficult to use one handed - $179.99 out of pocket for device 2)Blackberry 8320 + multi generation device + qwerty keyboard + standard headphone jack + mini usb data and charger connection + doesn't need data connection for good experience - no touch screen, need to figure out trackball (learning curve) + multi tasking OS + a lot of apps and games , most paid but free ones can be found. + wifi connectivity + can be used one handed + Blackberry community and forums + wirefly.com deal, device free plus 150 per device in rebates Topic 2: Transitioning to a new carrier Variable early termination rateOut of Box reviewTopic 3: a Syncing Contacts/ Calendar Google Sync app Sync contacts and Calendar with your google acctGmail ContactsGoogle CalendarCapture It - screen capture app DIGITAL DAN HOOKSHOW+DAN@GMAIL.COM The music featured in this podcast: Intro Buddha Chill by Joe DJ- trancentralMake sure to check out the Hook Show podcast main site.
