The bottom halves of my middle fingers ache and burn and tingle. The pain shoots right up through my wrist and into my forearm up to my elbow. They tell me this sounds like carpal tunnel. I don't even have a paying job!!!! I think the problem is that all of you internets are too interesting, smart, and witty. I spend too much time on pins and needles waiting to see what tales you will regale me with next. Pins and needles - exactly what my hand and forearm feels like now...
I'm off to a long day of appointments and meetings (did I mention I do NOT have a paying job?? WTH?), but I have a quick question for those of you who do get paid for your genius, or who are just techie geeks. My schedule and Rich's schedule are just getting nuttier all the time and with the whole PTO gig, his two flying jobs, the kids' activities, and remodeling the house...the time has come for me to upgrade to a smart phone. You know, one that will yell at me, "Hey you big ditz!! You are supposed to be somewhere RIGHT NOW!" I have been using a Palm Zire for a while and Rich has been using a Treo for quite some time, so we are used to the Palm OS and just assumed that we would both get Centros and then both sync of the same Palm desktop so that we would both have all of the same info and each other's scheds. HOWEVER, the (very very cute) salesman at the Sprint store did a hard sell on the Blackberry Pearl. A hard enough sell that these two Palm followers are re-thinking their plan. So, seeing as how more than half of you who visit around here are gainfully employed, and all of you are obviously uber-hip and smart, I'm seeking your opinions! Just keep in mind that I'm not trying to start up a multi-national conglomerate and that the Centro comes in pink, the Blackberry in red.
BONUS TEXAS FUNNY -
The man who just finished building our fence wore a straw cowboy hat, chain-smoked Marlboros, and wore cowboy boots with his jeans tucked into them. And, for a week straight the only thing he ever called me was, "Little Lady." AND, about half the times that he called me this he would tip the front of his hat!!! HI-LAR-I-OUS!!!!

Little Lady! Oh, lord.
BR uses the Centro. He likes it. I don't even have a CAMERA on my phone, but that's because I wouldn't even HAVE a phone if it was up to me.
Love the image of your Marlboro man!
I have a Windows Mobile device, and a Sprint plan. Love it. But the one thing I would say is that the carriers loooooove if you switch from someone else so you can bargain for some great deals. (Not that I personally do the bargaining...that's hubs's job.)
I just got the Palm Centro in red. My salesman actually did a hard sell on that over the Blackberry pearl (and since the Centro is cheaper, I was sold). I'm still figuring it out, but I like it so far. The thing I like best is having the stylus. My husband's Blackberry is WAY annoying because you have to scroll so much and it makes an annoying noise.
I just have a regular cell with a camera. I like paper for my schedules. Sorry I can't help Little Lady.
I HAVE THE PEARL! And I love it. And if you switch to Verizon it comes in pink. :)
But I have it in silver because I am a Professional and I was afraid that whipping my pink phone out in front of my badass clients would be an error in judgment and they would cease taking me seriously.
My sister and mom use the Pearl and really like it. I have the Dash and love it but hate T-Mobile. Someday I'm going to get really angry and switch to Verizon for better service and coverage. It would be nice to use my cell IN my own home. Isn't that a crazy thought?
I am trying to picture a cute Sprint salesman in cowboy boots tipping his hat and calling me little lady (b/c #1 I dont want to picture the chain smoking fence guy saying it #2 I love all things Texas)
speaking of Texas - are you going to the Crawford for the wedding?
