A bold move…

yesterday,  i made a step forward.   i got a new cell phone.

my two-year contract with my previous phone expired on saturday and it was time for a new one.   the old one isn’t working right.   the keypad is locked most of the time.   i have to bypass it to make phone calls.   super annoying.   yeah,  it was time.

i have been researching for the past few months…talking to people…checking out their phones…reading reports…doing my phone search due diligence.

after a lot of discussion,  wanda and i finally came to an agreement that i would get a smartphone. cynics would say i wore her down so i could get what i wanted.   geez…that sounds so trashy.   i would prefer to say that we arrived at a mutually beneficial meeting of the minds.

whatever.   i suppose that discussion is for a marriage tuesday post at a later date.

back to the phone.   the mac-heads of my world have told me there is really no debate.   get an iphone.   i suppose i don’t disagree with them.   the problem is that we are long-time verizon customers and have had exceptional cell phone service and reception for the past eight years.   no reason to change.

besides,  most of  the AT&T  (the iphone service provider)  customers i know seem to spend a lot of time complaining about their service and reception…so i really don’t want to change providers.

so i’ve been left with a decision.   wait for steve jobs biiiiig announcement on june 7 (when he might grace the world with his decision to let verizon in on the apple action)  or  step to the plate and get verizon’s new htc android incredible?

ta-da.

now i just have to wait until june 25th for the back order to come in.

really.   do you think alexander graham bell had this kind of hassle in mind?
