In a beginning was the phone. It was not the beginning, but it was a beginning. And it was good. So good that it was copied by another. Time came, and went. And lo and behold, it was no longer good. Along came a new cause for rejoicing, and it also was copied, and was good. Again time came and went. Now, in the third millenia, the wheel has spun full circla, for the other has blazed the trail, and I am now the copycat . And it shall also be good.
At least it hopefully will be as soon as the darn thing gets here and I activate it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t wait for the number portability (it was 1 stinking day after I would have been able to do it based on when the requirements were and the rebates expired; timed for that reason, I’m sure). There we be all sorts of gratuitous tech posts coming in the future as I get really excessively geeky with it. I’m looking forward to it. Check the link above again; price after rebates (free!), price of wireless bluetooth headset after online coupon (free!). I’m stoked.
*looking forward to the tech posts*

I thought you were using Sprint PCS / Vision. Has that changed?

Yup, I was. Won’t be in a few weeks.

Why the decision to switch to T-Mobile.

The phone, mainly. Hopefully I won’t regret it. If so, I could always change plans and give it to Jaime since she uses her phone so much less.

Regrets are for losers! Be fearless! Early adoption!
Now, if I could only get you to join the iPod Revolution…

Aye de mi!
Ahhh, nevermind.
I guess I should just be greatful that there are brave, fearless, imprudent souls that have the cash to be early adopters and thereby subsidize innovation and encourage higher rates of production to push down costs for the fearful — like me.
I guess its just my own tight-fisted selfishness that keeps me from being among this noble group we call “early adopters” …and so I shouldn’t go spreading it. :\
Don’t be like me! Go get money and then spend it on the latest, most worthy technologies to take your part in progress!

I don’t like phones with giant screens. In fact, I don’t want a bunch of doodads and crap. I want a phone with good reception that works everywhere I go. I don’t think I’m the only one.

Probably not; my current phone was purchased for exactly those reasons. Of all sprint phones, it gets the best reception and battery life. It’s slow with the java interface, big and bulky, and has been getting buggy lately (voice dial no longer works), and lacks bluetooth.

But seriously, who really needs wireless web and a phone that takes crappy low-res pictures? Just make a phone, not some all in one wonder device.

Actually, I found the wireless web feature really useful in Shanghai, where I could keep in touch with family in the States and check out bar reviews online without having to spend too much money on the overpriced internet access at the hostel. While I agree that most of this sort of stuff is pyrely whiz-bang, it can have some useful applications.
