Another one bites the dust

Jun 26th, 2007 by Accidental Thinker

Regular readers of this website may remember this post from last year wherein I waxed rhapsodic over my latest must-have technological toy, the Motorola Razr. I exuberantly sang this popular phone’s praises from the hilltops with all the blind loyalty of a rabid schoolgirl crush. I was enraptured.

Alas, I am a fickle creature, and the Razr and I are officially divorced.

The new apple of my eye is the Samsung Blackjack. It’s true; I have finally joined the ranks of Crackberry addicts and thumb-typing Smartphone users everywhere. In just three days, I already don’t know how I ever lived without it. No more updating contact information in three different places. No more connecting my PDA to the computer with something as archaic as a cable to synchronize my calendar. No more being tethered to the computer for checking my email when instead, it is delivered right to me wherever I am. Friends, I assure you that more likely than not, I will now be reading your comments to my blog entries on my Blackjack, rather than in my passÃ© computer-based inbox.

Really, though, it was only a matter of time. Some of my earliest readers may remember this even older post wherein I threatened future ownership of a combination device that would allow me to finally shed the PDA. Now I can only wonder what took me so long. Oh yeah, I was sidetracked and seduced by the Razr.

But this time, I am committed. I will vow to love my new Blackjack passionately. At least until the next cool new toy comes along.

Next stop, iPhone?

We just got a Virgin Mobile cell phone. Hard to beat $7 a month. Don’t need to text. Don’t download music. Don’t play games. Here’s how we do it:

Hunny, I just left the office.
Where you at?
On the freeway.
All righty. I’ll have dinner jess about ready when you get here.
Ok. Bye Hunny.
Uh,huh.

Of course, the company insists that I have a Blackberry at the ready at all times. (Shhhh. I don’t.)

My daughter has the Blackjack and loves it. It’s permanantly attached to her hand.

I can not believe all the options they have available. I can’t believe you can do so much on something so small!
