New Year New Phone

Sheila and I went to AT&T yesterday (New Years Day) and I inquired as to if I could upgrade my phone. I am not eligible until April 17th of this year. But I found that out about a week ago when I tried to upgrade then. I told the guy the problems I have been having with my phone (Signal and charging daily or every other day) he put a new Sims card in it and claimed that would fix the problem. Well it did not fix anything. When we went into the store the same guy waiting on us. He remember me from a week earlier. I told him I was experiencing the same problems and I asked if they could do an upgrade exception. He said sure. So I ended up going with a blackberry pearl. Sheila and I had already done all the homework on phones before going to the store and we both felt that phone would be right for me. Sheila's only concern (I think) is that this phone will have more features than I will know how to use.

Sheila spent about an hour tonight putting phone numbers in it for me. But I am proud of the fact that today I learned how to take a picture (on my own mind you) and even set the picture as caller id. For example if Sheila calls me her photo pops up. I also learned how to use the calculator. I like the calculator on this phone. My old phone had a calculator but I did not understand how to use it. You would think a calculator is simple to operate. And yes a standard calculator is simple to operate, however on my old phone you had to jump through hoops to do what would have taken you 10 seconds to do on a regular calculator. I claim a rocket scientist from NASA is qualified to use that calculator.

But anyway I have to say that I am pleased with my new purchase. My next purchase I want to make is a wii. But I think I have already mentioned that before.

Blessings till I post again.
