New Toy!
Jul 27th 2007
Today is an historic day. Well, sort of.
I finally was able to ditch my Treo! I now hold in my hand (well actually, it's on the table…but who's counting) a brand new Blackberry Curve.
Finally I can run my Treo over with heavy objects! Er…ok, nevermind, I traded it in for $100. But um, maybe somebody ELSE will roll over it.
Here's the story. I was trying to track down a Curve after a search of all the AT&T stores that I knew the location of turned up blank. Everybody said they were popular and everybody was out of stock.
So this morning I called up an authorized agent store (which I was trying to avoid, but…that turned out to be the wrong move) and asked if they carried the curve and if they had one in stock. They said they did, but they were going fast. They could, however,hold one for me. So I scooted down on my lunch break to pick up my Curve.
I'm really enjoying it so far. I like the interface, the form factor… The camera is pretty good too. See below:
Taken very quickly as the plane landed in front of my car on my way back to work with the curve. Pretty decent for a snapshot. And it was easy to use too.
I'm still playing around with it but two thumbs up so far.
New Toy Time!

Considering I'm going on the trip to washington DC in a few weeks and I've been working up the courage to purchase a
digital camera for myself because of the crappyness of my Treo 650's built in camera…I treated myself to a new toy tonight.
Well, it wasn't entirely my doing alone. One of my friends helped with the rationalizing procedure. Anyway…yeah…I'm the proud owner of a new Canon SD600 digital camera. This thing is so awesomely tiny. The picture quality rocks as well. I'm still getting used to it, but I took a few shots after the battery charged up just to play around a little bit. Yes, I know my TV is really dusty.
This also gave me a chance to try out iPhoto on my MacBook Pro which worked really, really well. I'm impressed so far, but no time for me to gush totally right now. I leave you with a few pictures that I took tonight when I was playing around.
