I've got a new toy!

Well, I finally caved in and got a Blackberry. I've wanted one for a long time! When I got my phone bill for last month there was a coupon in it for 500 bonus minutes but it had to be taken to the store before 6/26, so after work tonight I stopped in just to get the bonus minutes put on my account. I got to talking to the rep (of course I told her of my desire for a smart phone) and she did some checking (on our minute usage, etc..) and said they had a new plan available where I could get my smart phone and still save $5 a month on the bill. I had to sign a new contract (naturally) but I had no plans to change carriers anyway. After thinking about it for all of about 2 seconds I jumped. They were able to transfer all my numbers and pictures, but not the ring tones, so I'll have to do that myself (and it's gonna take some time). It took a while to get everything set up and I hadn't told Doyle I was stopping so when I got back in the car I thought I would call and let him know where I was--after some fussing and fumbling I figured out how to make a call. I felt really dumb and thought "what am I doing with this thing?". The rep told me that it would take some practice but not to get discouraged, that when I get everything figured out I'd love it. Until that happens I'm sure there will be some f bombs flying! Tonight I'm trying to get all the accounts, passwords, etc set up for my email, facebook, etc. Fun, fun, fun--I really am a gadget geek at heart!!!!
