A handset worth lusting after

Technology insists on doing this to me, and probably to you, too. You put off the new laptop or desktop purchase and watch the prices fall; you finally bite the bullet and make the buy; and a week later, something better/faster/cooler hits the market and makes you say, “Dammit, if I’d known …”

I broke down and bought a new cell phone last week, a U510 slider from Samsung. (Not that my previous phone was unsophisticated — it could make and take calls, and … well, actually, that’s about it.) It’s well spec’d for media, e-mail and Web access, quick snapshots and the like. It’s quite sexy in the way only a slider phone can be (have I perhaps been in this industry too long?).
