Diaries of a Nokia Fan Boy

Why is it that every time I get a phone it becomes outdated in less than a month? :’(
I got my E60, the E51 comes out a month later; I got my N95 8GB, and the N96 comes out! (although I prefer the N95 8GB to the N96 if you ask me); and now the Magic, and the Hero gets announced. It just never ends.

However, with the Hero, just as with the N96, I’m just not sure whether I would actually want to upgrade. I mean the specs are better:

• Multi-touch support
• 3.5mm audio jack
• Extra 96MB of RAM
• 5MP camera, but still no flash
• That fancy Sense UI
• Flash browser support out of the box

I mean don’t get me wrong, I would love to have all of those things on my Magic, but I would love to have them on the Magic! I don’t like that G1/Dream-style design, I like the curves of the magic, the way the trackball sits a little set into the face of it, like on the BB Pearl. At the same time, the Hero is heavier and thicker, and doesn’t even add a bigger screen or bigger battery to compensate!

I guess what I’m trying to say is that while the specs are nice, I would rather stick with my Magic, wait for someone to port Sense UI with the borwser support, and then load it onto the Magic. There would have to be a very lucrative proposition for me to consider upgrading to the Hero.
