So... What to get?

Now, if you have read my previous posts you will see I was somewhat in a bit of a dilemma as to what path to take with my next device purchase.

I stand by my decison - as outlined in the post - but the question now is which device to get first, to get into the ecosystem.

I can honestly say I am pretty happy with my current phone. It is a Blackberry Curve (hears the gasps of shock) but it does (almost) everything I need it to. It is compact, battery life is decent, handles email and texts brilliantly. It is also very cheap to run (£5 per month!). However the main downside is the camera which is pretty poor.

Camera is really the only sticking point.

So if I kept the Blackberry I would still need access to a better camera. I have a SatNav which I would also need to carry around for the odd occasion I might need it.

So in terms of simplicity, a new phone might be best; three devices reduced to one. However I do love the simplicity of the Blackberry! If only it had a great camera it would be perfect. I could live with using a sSatNav occasionally.

My other thoughts were to get something like an iPad and Apple TV, and keep the Blackberry for a phone. But realistically what would I actually do with an iPad? Sure it would be a nice way to look at emails and control the Apple TV, but as I don't really play games and use that many apps it seems a waste. I don't tend to watch media on a tablet device either, I prefer a TV.

So it looks like I have answered my own question! Despite my love for my Blackberry, I think a phone with Apple TV is the solution.
