End of an era
So I've finally given in to the dark side and got myself a smartphone. This is partly because my old phone died a death by a thousand and finally gave in, and partly because I really do have work-related needs for it, and partly because it's only minimally more expensive than a new non-smartphone, and of course partly because I'm a giant geek who likes shiny things. But seriously, my old phone was a dinosaur even when I got it two and a half years ago.
For any of you who may be interested, my new precious is a Samsung Galaxy Captivate, and is very shiny so far. The hardest part of the upgrade was getting the lovely folks at Rogers to get me a decent plan with US data roaming at a reasonable price. I got that sorted out yesterday evening at around 7:30 pm, $10.00 a month cheaper than they had originally quoted me, even, and then by 8:30 I had my new phone which will only cost $50. Sweet!
So as you may have surmised, I am typing this entry from the new phone, even though I'm less than 10 feet from the nearest actual computer. Hopefully I'll come to my senses shortly.
