We are on our final approach into San Francisco and I thought I would send a photo of the phones I brought with for the trip. I have the iPhone for personal email, and of course media. Also, having web access on the go is a great thing too.
I also brought the HTC Touch Diamond with so I have turn buy turn directions at my fingertips while travelling through the unfamiliar areas. Also, this phone has wi-fi which will then allow me to connect and watch slingbox while out and about.
Finally, what you can’t see is the phone that I took this photo with and am writing this post on, the Verizon Blackberry Curve. This will be my primary connectivity device for work email and my calendar.
A good trio of devices for travelling!
