I never get around to entering things into my phone (new Android type)

I had a PDA a few years ago back when the PDA was king and phones were simply phones with maybe a game and calculator app.

(try to buy a true PDA today, choices are slim, phones have taken over)

Anyway, it seems that I put off entering things, OR it’s so complicated and time consuming to sit or stand there and try to put things in on a teensy keyboard that’s poorly laid out, so it never gets into the phone. And I’m a computer geek, and network administrator at work and can make computers do almost anything – but personally, phones and such are a pain to deal with and so complex.

I guess reason 2 has been touched here – I always hate to see those people with phones super-glued to their ears, or they can’t even go to the bathroom without a phone. Managers here think they need them, but it’s more of a status thing at work to have a blackberry. I never cared for that.

Silly dumb reasons, eh?

We only went with these new phones because of the discounts, and the phones were literally free after rebate, otherwise we’d never have been able to afford ’em. The package deal was good and will actually cost us no more than we were paying on the other plan with the overages.

I must use Windows at work, but frankly, I don’t like things that are based on anything Windows or MS products – too buggy. My old PDA was Windoze based and constantly crashed and lost stuff. And Google – well, what choice with Andriod? I don’t trust them any farther than I can throw them, Arrogant company about like mickysoft, and the trust issues – when we found their toolbar was hammering on our domain controllers at work, we ripped all things Google off all computers really quickly.
