Temptation at its Worst

As much as I would like to claim that I am certainly free of the tech toy addiction that had ravaged my spending habits and my credit, I cannot. In the midst of this brutal honesty I once again find myself in a tight situation where my willpower must try its hardest to keep me and my impulses in check. As a smartphone entusiast it is definitely a great time to be alive as manufacturers release new models to the public masses and spur on uploadings of unboxing reviews via YouTube videos and online blogs.

Two particular devices have caught my eye: the HTC Touch Pro and the Nokia E71. What is shocking about this matter is that both of these models have unexpectedly come out of left field and taken me by surprise with their own individual charm. The Nokia E71 causes me to reminisce about the slim qwerty bar form factor, and even though there is no touchscreen I think that the built-in flash for Web, the usual S60 features and new sizing makes up for that. The HTC Touch Pro is another one that I never thought would intrigue me since it appears to offer the predictable slider qwerty from the preceeding TyTN 2. But my mind was changed upon the release of the iconic HTC Touch Diamond with its VGA screen and impressive TouchFLO features, and I am even more so shocked that this will be paired with a sliding qwerty! As much as I would hate to deal with the bulky form of a slider, I am more curious about how the TouchFLO works.

What makes this even more difficult is that there is rumored to be a new iPhone in the works that may be announced on June 9th...AND I CANNOT WAIT!!! :-) Who knows, maybe I will go for the new iPhone and settle on getting a handheld PDA.

Point of this whole posting is that I am genuinely concerned about how I will react once I know that these gadgets are available for purchase...especially in a brick and mortar store! I have been doing relatively alright financially and would like to maintain that.
