Hey PPL

Rather than debating it again, JUST RUN SOMETHING!

I did. Three times.

Phone is dead

Ok, my HTC Universal has finally "died", insomuch as it no longer can make phonecalls reliably. (It randomly mutes the speaker)

I'll have one more go at resurrecting it by updating the firmware, but it IS 3½ years old, so it has probably just exceeded it's maximum lifespan.

So my dear peeps, what do I replace it with?

1. Being a phone is NOT the primary need. Being an e-book reader and organiser is the primary need.
2. Although the iFruit is very tempting, the drop in resolution is a limitation.
3. Android would probably be my preferred OS.
4. I am not in a rush.
5. Being able to read mobipocket is a big plus, but I will accept conversion.
6. Being able to read MSReader is a big plus but I will accept conversion.
7. I'd prefer to avoid WinCE.
8. Screen resolution is a big factor, as is screen real estate. Crisp text on a bigger screen FTW.
9. "real" keyboards are nice.

Seed idea for a small convention:

The Price of Evil
(is Death, but the hours are good and the clothes are fantastic)
Welcome to the darkside. We have cookies! A convention for unconventional conventinists. From Darth Maul to Frank-n-furter. Why are we so fascinated with the villains? It's got to be more than that they get to dress in the snappiest clothes (Cue Servalan)

Is there a dark side in all of us?
