(7:16 podcast) I’m all about cellphones in this podcast.
After five years, I have a new phone. It’s a beauty: the Sprint Mogul.
I’m using Orb to stream audio from my home network to the Mogul. Pretty flawless so far. Orb lets you stream any media from your home to any computer. So, instead of having an 8 gig iPhone, I have Orb streaming from my 250 gig external hard drive to my Mogul.
I can watch YouTube videos on the Mogul, too. While the Sprint network is loads faster than AT&T’s, the video isn’t nearly as crisp as the beautiful screen on the iPhone. YouTube looks better on the iPhone than on any computer monitor I’ve seen.
I have to say, the iPhone is one of the best things I’ve ever played with (tee hee). I’m hoping for an iPod with the same screen and Wi-Fi as the iPhone. Basically, the same device, minus the phone, minus a couple hundred bucks.
The fast data network was what sold me on Sprint. If you have a friend who works at Sprint, you can use their email address and get a ridiculously cheap plan with the Sprint Employee Referral Offer. I ended up saving more than 100 bucks on the phone itself, 1250 anytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekends, and unlimited data. All of this, just for 50 bucks a month and one awkward 20-minute conversation with a Sprint employee upon activation.
