My New Phone is Here!

Woo-hoo my new phone has ARRIVED! I rocked along with my old one for far too long! Life will never be the same!  LOL!  My old phone had developed some sort of a short in it, safe to say he had issues.

I will be making the jump to a smart phone.  I pre-ordered the phone I wanted and it arrived today.  It really took a long time to fully decide I wanted to make the switch to a smart phone.  I actually picked out a different phone about a month ago, an HTC phone.  Before HTC could release the phone they had to fight off Apple.  Apple called the U.S. Patent Department and complained that the new HTC phone had a menu on it that was too similar to the Apple Iphone menu.  So U.S. Patent Department got involved and in the end the HTC phone was delayed.  Delayed so long that another phone by Samsung was getting ready to come out so I waited for the new Samsung since I'm familiar with Samsung phones unlike HTC phones.  

Now I have to figure out how to activate it through my providers web site.  For such a long time I resisted the thought of a smart phone.  I figured I wasn't important enough for a smart phone, perfectly happy with a dumb phone.  But then I started to think of some benefits to it.  Like price comparing as you're out shopping.  And checking movie times while out to dinner when we spontaneously think a movie sounds good to go to.  So hopefully this is a smooth switch for me.  My mom got a new cell phone that I insisted she get before we left town.  She seems to like hers a lot so hopefully I'll be just as happy with my phone.  Oddly, enough my mom purchased the upgraded addition of my old phone that I'm switching from.  I totally would have gotten that upgraded addition she got if I wasn't set on a smart phone.  And if I can't get used to this smart phone I'll be taking it back for the same phone my mom just upgraded too.
