Gadget Skeptical

Supporting Evidence

About eight months ago I was so fet up with Verizon that I abandoned ship completely. To avoid service charges, I waited patiently for my contract expiration date to arrive with as much anticipation as Christmas Day.

Finally the day arrived and I went to get a new phone plan the next day. I decided on a maroon BlackBerry smartphone. The clerk insisted that I would love it, and that I wouldn't want to ever have another kind of phone. I think she overshot her goal a little bit.

It's fine, and now, I'm used to its awkward size and bizarre dimensions, but never would I say its the only other phone I'll ever have.

I'm up and down. Sometimes I like how there are places to store notes and reminders, and sometimes I hate that the pictures often come out blurry unless its the exact right light. I don't like how sometimes it randomly calls friends, until I learned of the keypad lock feature.

It is durable though, I've dropped it dozens of times and the glass/plastic screen does seem inpenetrable. I really also like the maroon color and the wide screen and ability to see everything. When I first got it, I was lost for a while. But I like trying new things all the time. It keeps life interesting. Now I feel naked without it. And when one of my friends asks to borrow it for a minute for something, they end up looking at me and saying, "Is this a phone?"
