CELL PHONES are the Devil.

So now I'm Returning the iPhone. AGAIN. $175+ a month for a family plan is bullshit. Plus having an iPhone and NOT BEING ABLE TO USE IT because the AT&T Network is crippled because so many people have it is crap.

At least I can maybe get the iPad this Saturday....maybe. I have my reserve but who knows what tricks Apple has up their sleeves.

Also.....I'm a cellular whore. I'm sorry but I am. You shiny plastic and metal ladies and your curvy buttons. Didn't see me coming did you? Sliding my SIM card in and out of you and into the next. I feel filthy.

I have 14 notches in my belt and these are their names:

Apple iPhone 2g (unlocked on T-Mobile)

Blackberry Curve 8320

Blackberry Curve 8900

HTC G1 Black

HTC G1 White

Samsung Memoir

Motorola Cliq

Sidekick 2

HTC Touch Pro (Sprint)

Blackberry Curve 8330

Apple iPhone 3gs White (AT&T)  <----I sexed up 2x now. My favorite b!tch. 

Samsung T349

HTC HD2

PAX East

PAX East 2010 was awesome. I got to play Skate 3, Deca Sports, APB (All Points Bulletin), Pokemon Soul Silver, Diner Dash for 360, Rooms, and Price of Persia Forgotten Sands. I also got to play with the new NDSi XL at the Nintendo booth (then bought one today LMAO), saw Grant from Ghost Hunters (I was too starstruck to say anything) and Jerry Holkins from Penny-Arcade signed my Mach Rider t-shirt that I got at Nintendo World NY. The best part of the trip was the Mega64 Panel IMO.

PAX East 2010

I got a 3 day pass to PAX East 2010 in Boston.  I'm so excited about this event and it's going to go down in approximately 12 hours.

So I already got my gear packed for day one:

Nintendo DS Lite (picto-chat rooms, Tetris and Mario Kart is going to be a blast while waiting in lines)
Canon S90 with 2 spare batteries
LuckyPack I-UP 5400 mah USB external battery pack & misc cables
Sharpies (maybe someone cool will sign somethin for me)
i-Phone 3gs
A little container of hand sanitizer (The guy in front of you that touched that controller didn't wash his hands after wiping his ass. Remember that.)

I'll be posting updates to my Flickr and maybe even YouTube as the day progresses.

I lied.

So on 3/24/10 I stood in line for an hour to get the HD2 on launch day. Used it for a whole day. Returned the HD2 the very next day. Too many OS freezes (Black screen, lit buttons, have to pull battery every time), the screen was GORGEOUS don't get me wrong....but it was kind of overhyped. Horrid virtual keyboard, but the swype feature is kind of neat. But regardless of HTC's sweet Touch-Flo interface,  it's still Windows Mobile 6.5 underneath it all. Just because she's pretty doesn't mean she's not a b#tch. Right?

Went back to AT&T (Back to the iPhone and the Otterbox Defender case). I love the iPhone and will manage with the inter-carrier texting problems as they come. Elmo's Monster Maker (app), here I come!

Chubby cheese doodle fingers point South for stupid.

I Want NEED the HTC HD2. It comes out tomorrow 3/24/2010 and is on the T-Mobile Network. I saw that Walmart broke the street date so I stopped by my local Walmart to see if I could do the same and get one 2 days earlier. This is how it went down:

Me: Parks car.  Walks into Walmart. Goes to the electronics/cell department.....I don't see the phone on display.

Employee: Stands there. Eats chips. Texts somebody on her cell. Looks really miserable and bored.

Me: Looks at employee. Gives a nod with raised eyebrows acknowledging her that I probably need help.

Employee: "Can I help you?"

Me: "Yes, I have a question." Walks closer to her.

Employee: "Ok, you're gonna have to wait cuz I gotta go help someone else."

Employee: ::Walks away::

Me: (Thinks-WTF? she was just standing there eating chips....texting...doing nothing and I don't see anyone else.) "OK thanks."

Employee: Comes back....almost walks by me, bag of chips in hand.

Me: "Excuse me I had a question, do you have the HD2 in stock?"

Employee: "The Tv's are over there." ::Points with her chubby cheese doodle fingers to the HD Tv's::

Me: No. The HTC HD2 for T-Mobile. It's not a TV.

Employee: "I never heard of it so we probably don't have it." As she continues to walk away. 

Me: "OK Thanks a lot." (Thinks-You also never heard of customer service, and definitely do not have that in stock either.) ::Looks behind the counter for a box of LIES. Did not find any.::

So I wait until it officially comes out. Fine.

I need to stay with ONE phone and THIS IS IT. The holy grail of phones. Here is a list of the 12 (TWELVE) phone's I've had, or have had and returned in the last 4 years. The madness stops Wednesday. (No really. I swear.)

Apple iPhone 3gs (AT&T)

Samsung T349

My favorite by far was the iPhone 3gs,  but I had countless of unforgivable dropped MMS and Text messages (inter and intra-carrier). That really didn't work out and is really just bullshit, and after a week of troubleshooting with AT&T I gave up. So I'm going to stay on the T-Mobile network for now. Second favorite was the G1, but I got sick of the Android OS as it kinda wore off like a novelty. Finally the Blackberry Curves because the keypad ruled and I'm a push-email whore.

So that's it. Wednesday is the day I pop my Simcard out of my Samsung T349 and slide it into the delicious glass, metal and plastic glory of the HD2.
