Neuticles for Farinelli
Top 5 things I like about my Incredible
My biggest complaint about the Incredible is that the interface is just similar enough to my iPod to make my head hurt. To turn on the Incredible, I press the button at the top; to turn on my iPod, I press the button on the front. Everything on the iPod seems to work off the front button. When typing, the key to switch to the numbers & symbols keyboard is on opposite sides for the two devices, etc. and ARGH.
I've had it for 3 weeks now, which means if I'm going to change it, I need to do it this week. I briefly thought about getting a MiFi and exchanging my smartphone for a dumbphone, bc then I could just use the dumbphone for talking to people (ick) and texting, and then use the MiFi for Internet-everywhere, even canceling my DSL. Except then I'd be carrying 3 devices (dumbphone, iPod Touch, MiFi) and I'm not sure I have enough brain capacity to remember 3 devices, my keys, my metro card, my wallet, AND my work ID every day, y'know?
My at-home DSL, according to speedtest.net, is 2.8Mbps/0.66Mbps, in case that matters.
I don't think there's much point in getting a different Verizon smartphone, since the dude at CostCo commented all Droids have the same interface.
My mother says to suck it up and it's good for my brain to have to deal with 2 interfaces. My mother also doesn't spend all day thinking.
Tell me LJ-genie, what should I do?
- my shiny red case, which is ironic considering I wasn't going to get it but LBro talked (practically forced) me into it
- the font in the web browser
- Twitter is completely different when you have access all day long, as is access to LJ responses
