I just got a new cell phone, and I must say, I never thought I could have this much love for an inanimate object! My lovely Blackberry Pearl is my new favorite toy. I've had it for a few days, but I think I'll still be finding new things it can do months from now.
It is basically a mini computer. I can download (upload?) Excel, Word or PowerPoint docs from my computer to my cell, work on them, save them and then email them - and all from my phone! Wow. I can't believe that just 20 years ago (in my lifetime) cell phones were called car phones and were bigger than some of the home phones we use today. Amazing, isn't it? In the last 100 years alone we have seen more technological advances than in the last 1000 years...
But back to my Blackberry...I have never been the type to read the instruction manual - that would be far too easy! Instead, I stumble along, discovering new things by accident along the way. Doing it this way takes a little longer, but hey, I get that "I did it myself" feeling. ;) If I had been born 600 years ago, (and born a man) I probably would have been the explorer who set the record for most miles traveled without finding anything!
So if you are looking for a cell phone that will give your life new meaning, pick the Blackberry Pearl - it is well worth the high price - I can say that because I didn't have to pay a cent for mine!
Hmmm, Blackberry ought to send me some free stuff for all this promotion!
