Toronto, BC Convention, and cell phone
Woohoo! I just got back from Toronto, having attended the 2006 BookCrossing Convention, and meeting up with a lot of people that I've only been talking to online for over a year now. :-) It was so rainy on Saturday and Sunday that I didn't really take many pictures then. Besides, we spent most of the day Saturday at the presentations, and Joanne, Tanja and I only skipped one so we could go to the mall and pick up a cell phone charger since I had forgotten mine at home. And unfortunately, my batteries are so old, they don't maintain a charge for more than a couple days. I know I should just buy new batteries, but I actually want a new phone instead, so I don't want to spend $ on batteries that most likely won't be compatible with the new phone I get. Now if I can just find a phone that has all the features I'm looking for. So far, those requirements are Dual-band/Tri-mode (at least 2 digital bands plus Analog), Bluetooth, Walkie talkie (push to talk), Speakerphone, and Tethering (DUN) capability. I'd prefer a Sanyo or Samsung as they're really the best phones, and since I'm not tied to Sprint PCS in any way, I'm willing to switch to another provider, though Verizon is probably the only other one I'd seriously consider.
