help me find a new phone...

[Miss Kitty]

Can I call you this weekend? I'm semi-delirious...

Just know that if you leave me a message on my phone that I may not get it for days! Oh, and FTLOC, do NOT text me! Somehow a text jsut showed up that said..."Happy Easter". Not sure how that happened.

Test away NoHall M.S. (or is that M.S. NoHall?) she didn't get mad when I texted her Dikki Du info. Just don't expect anything back.

Hmm... Now that I think about this we could use the Kitty phone as a text message random thoughts. :scratch:

Major. I was Captain at school, but now it's Major.

...I love this idea! Let me add that all of a sudden one morning this week (!), my phone said I had 4 messages. I opened it up and there were 4 text messages. "Happy Easter" "dikki du at 8pm" "sara finally surfaced" and one from my trainer, who apparently saw the pic of me at Dikk Du on fb and said he was glad I was having fun. That last one skeers me...I am going to pay when I get back to Dallas.

swgb*...when are you coming over for a computer check-up? You can teach texting at the same time. Call me about this, DO NOT text!

*...my latest typo is when I type swgb and it comes up segb...southeastgayboi.

text message update...two more jsut popped up...one from a sowaller saying she is crossing the lake (that was on Tuesday)and another one from AT&T about a free msg for Mother's Day! WTF?

This is all very helpful because I'm due to get a new phone with my Verizon plan and I've been thinking about a blackberry. (thanks for the detailed info SJ). Mostly, I'd be checking email (and I hope never to check it when I'm with other people, but I'd consider checking it when standing in line at the supermarket - for now I just read the magazines near the counter until I get close enough to the check-out). But, I'd like to be able to make international calls while I'm travelling out of the US - does the Blackberry make that possible and do I have to pay a lot to get that capability? I don't go out of the country often, but when I do it sure would be nice to make a few calls home.

NoFunn, you're probably the only one who will have any funn during this retrograde period. We will all be living vicariously through you.

Already! Clients are sideways and biatchy. They think I'm a saint 'cause I just keep saying, 'No problem, I understand."

Major what? What's the 'S' for? Heh, heh, heh!

 

[Miss Kitty]

Dear Lynnie,

Happy New Year!

XOX,

Miss Kitty

Paula, I believe the BlackBerry "World Edition" is set up to be able to use all cell phone technology, so that you can use it abroad. Beware that your usage outside the US may be pricey. Clark Howard (ClarkHoward.com Home: Save More, Spend Less and Avoid Rip-Offs on clarkhoward.com) has spoken frequently about what to do if you are going on a trip overseas, regarding cell phones. Check his website and run a search.

My insurance covered my new BlackBerry Curve (except for the deductable), and they tried to upgrade me to the BB World Edition, which is a much pricier phone ($295), but they would have covered the cost on the insurance. I opted for the Curve b/c I don't travel overseas and the World Edition doesn't have a camera, nor video capabilities.

I saw another Yahoo news story this morning noting that iPhone will never replace the BB, b/c for people who text and email, the iPhone is not as good as the BB because of iPhone's touch screen keyboard, which is difficult to get the feel for.

I think the voice recognition software needs much help, but that sure could take out any typing problems if they could fix that. BB Curve has voice recognition for calling numbers. I've tried it for the last few days, and it is rather crazy at times, but works well for some names. I would love to be able to speak my text and emails, having my phone transcribe it, and send it. Not there yet.

I have the Curve and sometimes I hit an unknown button and I hear, "Say a command!" I reply with, "STFU!, I'm trying to drive here!"

What button am I hitting?
