w00t new phone
Sorry, Greg, the slvr just wasn’t cuttin it. Plus, I figured I could drop around a benjamin on a smartphone and see if I like it. If so, I’d buy an iPhone. If not, I wouldn’t have to regret spending five of them. I picked up an unlocked Blackberry 7105t on Ebay. Used, of course, a bit scratched up, but fully functional. I really didn’t think it would be that much better at getting service at home than the slvr because it (the BB) showed the same number of signal bars as the slvr. Later Sunday evening, I was sitting in the basement playing Oblivion when it rang. I picked up, and an 8-minute long conversation with my dad ensued. While I was in the basement. I didn’t even have to get up. With my slvr, I had to go to the upstairs bedroom and stand by the windows to get any sort of signal, and even then it was flaky. I loved the slvr – sleek, played mp3s, worked great everywhere else – but it just couldn’t cut it at the new house.
In other news, Melinda’s bird may be egg-bound. That means there’s an egg that needs to come out, but it’s stuck. It’s pretty much fatal if not operated on. Anyone have any coupons for kleenex?
edit: Kevin: hush.
edit 2: it was fatal. 
Sweet, now we have the same phone…great choice Ross! Now we can talk to each other in our basements.
Bastard…
Yeah, but isn’t sean’s a new phone instead of a scratched up ebay model!!
Why would you want an iPhone wait for Microsoft to bring out the ZunePhone. Then you can put wireless in your truck and you can talk or listen to mp3s wirelessly. So your hands can be free for well other things, if you get my drift.
If by other things do you mean man the 32X spotting scope and night vision goggles with camera attachments.
