I started a new job today with a pretty big fortune 500 company. It's a temp to hire position and I have a 15 mile commute with 8-5 hours. I decided it was time to give myself a treat of a new celphone. My old one isn't holding a charge like it used to (which I blame for the region since when my friends come to visit their phones don't hold their charges either). The camera on my old phone sux compared to all my families cam-phones. The mint chocolate plays MP3's so I can put off buying an iPod for now as well.
My other option was the black Samsung SCH-u740, but honestly I despise txting. I can't justify buying a blackberry wanna be phone just to do something I really don't want to do to begin with. It is tempting to have that nifty keyboard though.
So far I love this phone, I've had it since Monday. I love that my contacts can have multiple numbers unlike my old Moto where you had to have multiple contacts because they had more than one number. That Moto feature irritated me when I left my old Kyocera B&W phone. It also has GPS in it which is another money saver, let's see if I actually use that feature.
Some nice guy named Ed gave me a map of Dallas on Monday, which helped me get to work today. Which is really helpful since I don't have internet and access to any map webbie sites.
I downloaded a song, then after I downloaded it I was irritated because it was an edited version of a song. I also can't email songs to myself because the files are too big. I can however email myself ringtones, so I still have my Doom Song sung by Gir, and my Gir charms. Which is all that matters anyway right?
Let's see I also have 30 free days of VCast, it looks really cool, but I can't see myself spending $25 for internet on this tiny device with a crappy txt pad entry system. I did see myspace page. But no, I wouldn't pay for this service just yet. Their vCast specific stuff however is pretty cool ~ but it's very limited.
Other than that I like my present to myself.
