Ok, so you got yourself a new phome, but come on whats so excited about a cell phone.
So I've finally broken the chains of Telus. My sister and I switched contracts, so now I'm the proud owner of a Motorola V635. This little beast packs a lot of features into $150 worth of phone; mp3 player, color screens, video player, Java games and most importantly, Bluetooth. Having the Norse king's networking protocol allows me to load all sorts of stuff into the phone without paying a premium to Telus. For instance, like the total nerd I am, I created a ringtone out of the new Doctor Who theme, along with some Public Enemy and Air tunes and a few other movie scores. Oh, and it syncs up my address book and iCal appointments on my Mac, which may not be all that cool but sure is convenient.
It also has an SD card (32 meg standard, but you can throw a one gig card in there if you want), which means I could load it up with videos for my commute to and from work. I wouldn't bother with music, since the iPod works just fine, but being able to watch the Simpsons on the Skytrain holds a certain appeal. :)
Oh yes, and there's also a 1.3 megapixel camera built in, so my phonecam pics on Flickr should look a little better from now on. And because I won't be getting charged to send them (Bluetooth=free) I'll be taking a lot more impromptu pictures.

Are you kidding me? DOCTORWHOTHEMERINGTONEMP3BBQ! :)
"The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.48 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.17 W/kg. The SAR value for this product in its data transmission mode (body-worn use) is 0.54 W/kg."
1.6 is the allowable maximum, for those who want to know. =)
Pfft, radiation is good for you! Why would Motorola EVER lie to me? :)
I just don't get all excited over cell phones, I just don't see cell phones as having any geek factor. There something that geek wannabes want to look kewl.
There's no such thing as geek "wannabes." Phones are actually more fashion pieces than anything else, unless you're talking about the Treo 650 and suchlike.
Oh yes there are to wannabe geeks out there, I kept running into these people at the Tech Store here at NAIT. People that because they have the so called latest it gadget out, and they haven't got a clue how to use it or what its suppose to be used for. Then there are those that think they know what the internet is and we end up showing then what it really is only to get them pissed off and mad at us for showing them what they are doing wrong.
Well, I'd classify them as "idiots," not geeks. A geek to me is somebody who enjoys using this stuff for the sheer pleasure of screwing around with it. Either you have that instinct or you don't, hence the lack of wannabes.
