I've gotten rid of the blackberry.

I was having memory problems - flash is only 500kb, which meant that every 70 or so messages it eould start deleting the oldest of that day's downloaded emails if I hadn't read them yet - given listvolume these days, that's sometimes 2-3 hours of email. I couldn't keep up.

And of course, it had no web access, which meant that most days, there was no lj, no salon.com, no theonion for me.

But I had a gift cert and a tradein perk and I've just switched to the Sidekick from tmobile!

I'm updating lj from it, it deals with email better than the bberry and it's in colour which means I can carry pics of the boys in digital format and show them off at weddings and such.

Now I just have to figure out how to update the leaky cauldron this way.

New Toys are great fun!

Glad you like it and it's a better deal for you.

I'm looking forward to new toys myself hopefully sooner than later. Need new toy. Will be distracting.

Heidi, you're so quaint! My new toy fell in the pool and was promptly fried. Was very upset, luckily was under warranty and skirted around all the red tape!

Was considering a SideKick; you'll have to let me know how you like it.

May the blackberry rest in peace. But yay for new toy!

Or you could carry the boys around and show them off :P

That sounds like a fun new toy. I've been thinking about getting something similar and might do so for my birthday.

Enjoy!
