Happy Friday my dearest darlings!

[swmbo]

Wee! First of all...Happiest of Happy Birthdays to ngaio and zoniduck! I hope you both have a super fantastic day, with everything that you oh-so-deserving hearts desire! *throws a party and hands out cake and beverages*

Second of all - Hee! mpoetess has earned a place in the swmbo-heart FOREVER (not that she didn't already have one!) by donating money in the pure and glorious name of Snygel in the Saving Angel Shipper wars! The Food Drive's choice of topics for yesterday was so inspired *dances* And, heee! I am saddened that the organizers don't appreciate the beauty that is Snygel, as can be seen from this quote: We'd like to tip our hats to the inventive among you who came up with a few interesting couple combos; such as Lorne/Angel, and the most disturbing pairing of all time Snyder/Angel. Disturbing?! Darn their inability to see true love! Well, the shipper war is going to be rematched on March 29th and I'll actually be able to donate then myself. Snygel will become known and loved, forever! *peers at Ashy* Although I'm so torn because while Snygel is good and true and canon - who can resist the siren's song that is Xolaf? Or Splory? Oh, to love so many ships and so well...

*blissful sigh*

And wee! I start my new job Monday and today I ... well I slack at home in the morning and then I *shudder* go to renew my car tags in the afternoon and buy creamer (I had only enough for ONE cup of coffee today! Horrors! Fortunately I also like my coffee black. It's coffee...there is no bad!) and ...oh yeah, go to the bank. *nearly forgot*



Hmm...ok, here's the thing. Some of you may or may not remember a series of cell phone disasters that I had. Where I um, broke the phone partially by spinning in my chair while it was plugged into the cell phone recharger. And then a couple months later (2-3 weeks ago), completed the job by nearly setting the whole thing on fire with the replacement recharger. Now for those who may not realize, swmbo is a tech-junkie, she can't help it. This phone was the Treo Handspring 180 - preordered and received when they first became available - one of the first PDA/cell phones on the market and definitely one of the first good ones. (And swmbo was screwed because the first ones were b/w only - and they'd priced the color versions as significantly higher and not coming out for any known time. Then a few weeks after she bought the b/w version, they announced the color version would be coming out in like 2 months AND dropped the price to just 100 bucks more than the b/w. Grr.)

So anyway - there are a lot more cellphone PDAs out there. Both Palm OS (like the Treo) and PocketPC (I've had first an Aero and then an IPAQ for years, but it's also currently, well, in bad shape. It won't hold a charge. I'm cursed that all things break at the same time.)

Does anybody out there have any experience with any of the other models? Or service plans available, cause I'm with T-Mobile now, but Sprint (curses on their name, both of them) is also available. Feedback on networks and/or phones would be SO lovely. Particularly - and this is the key - the web browser and email functions. Shuddup, I'm a geek. Hee!


*loves you all* *HUGS*

SO commenting on my own post cause I'm that lame but I dont want to edit it. Plus, if you click to read the part behind the cut tag you'll see this ANYWAY!

Anyway - pretty much the version I had before isn't available easily, so I'd go with either the 270 (color version) or any totally new phone - either the sprint version of the Treo or one of the many pocketpc phones out there. I was just going to go with the 270 and not worry about it at all, until I found out that they dont' even freaking sell that on it's own anymore - you HAVE to buy a new plan. You can't transfer your existing plan to a phone that you buy at a higher cost. Which makes me grr. I know, it's stupid but I just wanted to transfer. Now I have to call and cancel the other, and then figure out...plus my plan was older and I'm not sure they even offer it as a new plan anyway. *grumbles*

I like both the PocketPC and the Palm OS - they both have their plus and minuses - I'm primarily interested in how they work on the wireless plans and/or as dialup, and how the browsers function. I have very limited experience with the PocketPC's browser cause I never bought a wireless card for mine, sooooo...

Hee.

I spam my own journal, hurrah!

Dude! Word. Truer words have never been spoken. *hums*

Tomorrow is donate for Lindsey day. We both missed donate for Connor. However, I'm tempted to donate again before it's over and place a donation for the boy.

No clue on the phones. *cuddles you*

*pokes you*

You want Verizon. Because they have the best network and services.

And of course if you get the in plan we'll be able to call each other for free!

But really they do have the best network out there, work uses sprint and their network is always scratchy and cuts out, haven't had that happen yet with Verizon.

Thank you! Oooo, cake! (My 3 year old is disappointed because I don't have cake and a badge, 'cause that's how birthdays go!)

Ha! See how right I am?? Snyder/Angel IS the most disturbing pairing evah!!!

Although I watched Band Candy yesterday and thanks to you and Abbie, Snyder's ears were a pure distraction. You are right about that! Perfect handles.

But. . . .Eeeeewwwwwww!!

Can you just imagine for a moment that I mocked you on the Snygel, becaue I'm too lazy to actually come up with the goods.

...

That done? Okay. Now imagine I mocked the lameness of commenting on your own post.

...

Okay. I thought you'd like to know that I bought milk (and of course, resisted the insane urge to buy two copies of Mizz magazine).

Dude! Your mobile cell phones have funny names. I can be no help here. Sorry.

*hugs you tightly and pretends that there was some point to me being here. other than hugs, which are actually reason enough all on their own*

Syngel would be interesting....

Although it sounds like a new name for lube or something "Get your Syngel today!"
Occasionally I'm crass and strange.
