Way more exciting than it should be.
« on: May 12, 2010, 11:29:32 PM »
So, since Verizon was nice enough to give a free phone upgrade to all of us who migrated from Alltel, I decided it was time to jump on this smartphone bidness everyone's so hot about. $70 and one Motorola Devour later, here I am posting to RPPR at work. Like I said, way more exciting than it should be.

Let me warn you about something annoying about smart phones. Because I teach at two different colleges right now (one semester is ending but my summer teaching has already begun), I get approximately 75 emails a day to the three different accounts I have set up. So I've had to turn off all my notifications so that my phone only makes noise if someone is calling me.

Fortunately, the Devour has the most unobtrusive-but-noticeable vibe setting  of any phone I've ever had. It's like a marimba bar being struck, only tactile.

Also, in before vibration jokes.
