Techno-toys!!!!!

Well, I finally stepped into the world of smart phones. And I didn't just put my toe in the water either, I dove right on in and I am so happy I did!

My newest phone, an upgrade offered by my cellular carrier, is the iPhone 4. Yes, I went for the newest model of the iPhone, which wasn;t my original plan, but what can ya do?

Originally I had planned to get myself a refurbished 16GB iPhone 3GS and use that for my upgrade. Much to my chagrin, I found that when I went to upgrade the option to use a refurbished phone was no longer there. I didn't really want the 8GB 3GS, nor did I particularly want to spend the extra for the 16GB 4..... So I was in a quandary. What to do?

After much thought I finally decided to bite the bullet and go for the 16 GB iPhone 4. Overall I am pleased with my phone, but the square design is not as nice on the ear as the previous incarnations of the iPhone, and this one also feels a little heavier than prior incarnations. No, I have never had my own before, but I have played around with prior incarnations that friends of mine have had (especially the last six months so I could learn how to use my own when I got it finally).

At least I finally have something I can use if my computer ever decides to fry itself for e-mail, message boards, and blogging.
