4 phones, 4 providers

Originally uploaded by gt2697

Yes, I’ve got 4 active phones with 4 different providers going on right
now. The Curve on Verizon, the HTC Touch Pro on Sprint, an old Nokia on
T-Mobile and the HTC Touch Diamond on AT&T.

My name is Mickey and I’m a junkie…

The Sprint HTC Touch Pro arrived this weekend and i’ll take the next week or so to test it out before writing my review. However, I wanted to put out some initial comparision photos of the device with the Touch Diamond, as well as the photos of everything that comes in the box. Enjoy!

And it isn’t nationally televised. Through the magic of a slingbox, a connected laptop and a couple high speed connections, the game has found it’s way into my living room. Also, using the new slingplayer 2.0 software, the opportunity to pause and rewind real time is available.

Also note that this photo was taken with the 3.2mp camera that is built in to the Sprint Touch Pro. Very good quality for a mobile phone!
