So, my iPhone 3G’s Wifi Antenna is still busted and fixing costs as much as a new phone. Just being dependent on Edge is causing trouble since my T-Mobile prepaid sim card only provides me with 100MB Data a month. That is enough for my tweeting, facebook and checking mail but used to check news while still in bed which I now need to do via the limited data signal. My iPhone is now over 2 1/2 years old and I think it is time for a new phone. That’s when the trouble starts…

I’ve sworn myself to never ever buy an other Apple Product again. So what are the options? I DON’T KNOW! I keep scanning gadget sites for the perfect solution considering I’ll need an unlocked phone since for our Travel Blog we will be in a new country every 3 month. Well I did find some gadgets I might like .. sigh:

• HTC DESIRE HD It’s a need phone with a big screen and comes unlocked if I buy the international version. I like the look and feel of it but it is fairly expensive.
• Galaxy S Kind of looks like an iPhone 3G but a little cheaper I would say. Comparing the specs this phone will be still an upgrade to my current phone.
• Synapse Phone Which let’s you built your own Smartphone. The phone customized phone I would like from them would not even be too expensive but I don’t think they will go into production any time soon.
• Galaxy Tab This option is more like a tablet PC but the international version has SIM slot so I could use it as a “regular” phone too. This would be a great option since I could even do some work from it, read up on blogs, use it as an eReader, etc BUT …. I just can’t see my self pulling out this huge emm ringing cutting board and hold it against my ear to chat up. On the other hand I don’t use my phone barely for doing calls.
• iPhone4 Yeah, you saw it right. Maybe I should just suck it up and buy an other stinken Apple product. I mean, it’s the best smartphone out there right and if I would buy it from 02 in Germany it would even come unlocked.

Do you maybe have a suggestion for me? What do you think I should do?
