Another One Bites the Dust...

Ever notice as soon as a warranty expires, so does your product? Towards the end of November, my phone began to have some functionality issues...The touch screen was no longer responding properly...it was either misaligned or non-responsive altogether...Made for some frustrating moments...I recall when my boss had the same phone and it began to do the same...it went out the window...quickly...with the car moving...

So I agreed to conform with what my boss tried to get me to do 2 years ago...get a Blackberry when my phone bit the dust...
Two years ago when I looked at them...I was less than impressed...Cheap plastic, roller ball was not fluid, buttons were itty bitty...and I was used to having Microsoft Word and Excel on my phone so I could actually do work and send things during those hours of waiting in airports during tour time...But what was getting old...was the delay in getting emails through my work server... Sometimes it would take 10 minutes...other times...10 hours...At one time in life...10 hours was actually fast...these days? Unacceptable...somehow that's just very disturbing but it is what it is for now...One day in the near future...10 minutes will be too slow...

So I had planned on getting a new phone mid December...December 7th was the magical day when I could upgrade my phone but my schedule didn't allow for phone shopping until the following week...Well, as the Verizon gods would have it...my phone met it's timely, "you're ready for an upgrade-what's taking so long," demise...Of course all of my Contacts were in the phone along with some other pretty vital information...so off to the Verizon store I went to do the dirty deed...Yes, I finally broke down and have joined the ranks of the Crackberrys...I got a Blackberry Tour...why not, I just finished one tour...now I need another...So far, I hate to say it but I'm diggin' it...
