We mobile tech junkies are never satisfied, we freely admit it and won’t argue that point. That means that we spend weeks and weeks waiting for the Next Big Thing (NBT) to come along. Once it’s released we can’t rest until we get to play with it and we ooh and aah with the rest of geekdom and life is good.
The problem is that in a very short time we are soon over the buzz and we’re ready for the NBT once again. We went through this process with the iPhone 3G, the G1 Android phone and then the Blackberry Storm. Sure there were a bunch of other phones alongside of the big three but nothing floated our boat. We played with those three big smartphones and were all agiggle with them until reality set in.
They’re all great phones but we’re fickle geeks and now we’re ready for the NBT to appear. So what’s it going to be? That Palm Pre looks pretty darn special but lets face it, so did the last three. The luster fades so fast when you’re like us and we need new gadgets. So what will catch our fancy this time? What phone are you waiting impatiently to get to touch?
