• Bold Move

  I purchased a Blackberry Bold with two year agreement!!
  

  So at my new job the company pays for my cell phone service. This means I can finally have mobile access to the internet! Truth be told, I've had a Blackberry phone for months now, but no data plan. A Blackberry with no data plan is like a man who has had a vasectomy; no potency. (NOTE: But that doesn't make him less of a man!!!!) It was very anti climatic every morning waking up and realizing I had an internet phone with no internet.

  So with free cell phone service, I needed to get a killer 3g phone! Yes the iPhone came to mind. But I despise Apple products. (Not because Apple sucks. They make excellent, solid, and trendy products. But they also somehow managed to cultivate a user base that partially consists of really snobby wannabe tech geeks that think they're better than everyone else because they own an Apple product. BAH!) But a more objective reason for not getting an iPhone is that the whole purpose of my getting a phone was that I had access to corporate email. And mobile email is synonymous with Blackberry. So hmm what is like an iPhone, but not... ah the Blackberry Storm. I went and tested that phone out. It's a beautiful phone but typing on that phone is the opposite of what typing on a Blackberry should be: Fast.

  It seems so simple now that I write it down but I was torn between the Storm and the Bold for weeks! I thought that only Verizon Wireless, which carries the Storm, was the only carrier that included voice-navigation-gps features and the ability to use your phone as a modem so you could get internet anywhere you get a signal. But then I learned the Bold can do both of that. But then Verizon Wireless has the largest 3g network in the nation. But the Bold doesn't suck at typing.

  So anyway I ordered the Bold today. Please congratulate me with 2 eprops or a free gift on facebook.
