I admit it, I'm hooked. What was once just a tool for keeping in touch with the office or checking up on the kids has become my new favorite toy.
Somebody text me. Please.
It finally hit me when I got my new phone. This one is way cool - the Samsung Beat, an MP3 player, 1.3 megapixel camera, bluetooth compatible, etc - and you'd have thought it was Christmas when the UPS guy dropped the package on the front porch last week. I could hardly stand the anticipation, waiting for the battery to charge. It's so shiny...not necessarily a good thing, considering my obsession with finger prints and smudges. To my delight, the USB connector cable was an included accessory, so I set out to add every song I've ever downloaded to the memory card. Ooh, aah.
The camera is so much better than my old one. I've harbored a secret jealousy of Erick because I got him the best phone in the house, but no more! We spent close to an hour the other night, comparing features..."Yeah, but mine does this...". Again, ooh, aah.
My only source of frustration is that I can't seem to find enough reasons to use it. The other night, I took a picture of the cat and sent it to both the boys, just because I could. We have unlimited text messages now, thanks to Erick's inability to count, so why not, right?
Somebody text me. Please.
I'm not sure I have your number...
ReplyDeleteI got a phone for Christmas this year. Everyone wanted to keep track of me. It did everything. Notice I said did, I ran it through the laundry last week! I didn't care for it anyway, too many buttons! So I called the kid up and got him to go with me to the store to get a new one. I told the clerk to give me one with an on and off button and nothing else. These phones have too many gadgets on them to be useful for me. Guess what they do have simple phones for simple people like me, they are in the back room on the shelf in the corner and cost only eighty bucks! You can text with this one too but I won't do that, that kind of stuff costs extra.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to launder my phone, but I did have one that went for a swim in the American River, and another that took a nose dive into my coffee once. Amazingly enough, they both worked just fine after all the parts dried out, except for the #4 key on the coffee phone. They're pretty sturdy, unless they get thrown at a wall. Not that I know this from personal experience, mind you...
ReplyDeleteSue - I'll e-mail you my number! :)
