Inspired by a search I did out of nowhere, I decided I wanna try to live without my BlackBerry Bold for a week and…use my T-Mo Pulse Android OS instead! I will continue to use the BlackBerry to receive my work phone calls but that should be it. I’ll also use it to send/reply to some of my work emails but will try to do so as little as possible.

I know there are some disadvantages:

  • the lack of physical keyboard will slow me down when writing.
  • the lack of work emails will be a definitive minus as I can’t find a good Exchange client; should be free, like the one I use in the BlackBerry.
  • the battery life which is horrible in Android devices, on the Pulse included.

There are also advantages:

  • the Pulse’ so much better for multimedia.
  • the touchscreen is better for “on-the-fly usage” especially on apps not requiring data input.
  • a LOT of applications to use and get accustomed with in a short period of time.

I just don’t know if i should update the blog regarding the way the things are going daily, or to write a single post after a week. What do you think?
