Surprising Restraint

This past week I think I showed a surprising amount of restraint.  How so, you may ask?

As of February first I was eligible for an equipment upgrade with Sprint and I DIDN'T order a new smartphone!  Most folks who know me well know that I've got a bit of an obsession when it comes to this category of device.  It got so bad that between February 2008 and June 2009 I went through four different smartphone devices:  Motorola Q9c, HTC Touch Diamond, Blackberry Curve 8330, and finally my Palm Pre.  The Q9c was my first smartphone and got it at new customer pricing ($80) by signing a two year contract with Sprint.  The Touch Diamond was a device I purchased off of eBay in November 2008, the BB Curve was purchased in February 2009 with my annual upgrade with Sprint (big mistake!), and then I was one of those fools who grabbed a Pre on the device launch day on June 6, 2009.  In late April 2009 I got so fed up with the Blackberry 8330 that I switched back to using the Touch Diamond until the Pre came out.  Needless to say, I'm a very picky smartphone user.

I'm not saying that I won't be getting a new smartphone.  In fact there is one device in particular that I'm waiting for, the rumored HTC Supersonic.  However, rather than running to the store the first day this device is out I will hold off until I can read some reviews AND play with the device in a store.  I really like the user experience on the Palm Pre and it will take quite a bit to make me leave that behind.  A reliable 4G network connection, 1Ghz processor, and that 4.3 inch display will be very tempting to say the least.

However, something else to keep in mind for ANYONE looking to buy a new smartphone right now is that Mobile World Congress is coming up in about a week and there will be A LOT of new and interesting devices announced then that may be worth waiting on, at least a month or two.
