I’ve resisted buy­ing a mobile phone for over two years, despite Dave try­ing to con­vince me we need to upgrade the one we share. I keep insist­ing I don’t need one, and espe­cially not one that takes pho­tos and plays videos and yuck, I hate those ringtones.

Finally this week­end I gave in — and am now the proud owner of a Motorola A925. Why? Because it’s really a PDA. I’ve been think­ing lately that I’d love to either get a new PDA or find a new bat­tery for my old iPAQ. But this thing is a PDA that also makes phone and video calls, and the two-for-one deal was so cheap we couldn’t pass it up.

It’s very large, but very cool. Also very geeky. But send­ing email on the train is fun.

Any­one know of any cool Sym­bian UIQ applications?
