Me, Telstra and the Phone that I never thought I’d try…

So then, you know, they say “Once you go Mac, you never go back!” and, well, to some extent, they’re right… Or are they?

I met with the guys at Telstra today, they’re like BT if you’re from the UK… Verizon in the US? ..you get my point! …so I met with those guys to collect one of the new HTC Sensation mobile phone / computer / camera / soup maker!

It is large [126.1mm x 65.4mm x 11.3mm 4.96" x 2.57" x 0.44"] and it is powerful [1.2 GHz, dual core]

You might well ask “What the hell are you doing with that?!” Well, I’ll tell you dear reader… I’m taking photos with it! I’m installing photo apps on it and I’m racing it with my iPhone 4… Will it emerge ‘sensational’ or will I want to stir my instant coffee with its shredded remains! Time will tell… [Keep an eye on the blog or subscribe via RSS]
