Gadget Crazy

I finally figured out that I could add a storage card to my phone and load it up with MP3s and Podcasts (I'm the only person I know who actually downloads podcasts and listens to them). Not to be out done, I even figured out how to put a client's DWI videotape on the phone and watch it. (I showed a few seconds of it to four people I come in contact with on a weekly basis - trust me, they have access to the tape anyway - and three of the four simply said "You're such a nerd" and walked away.) And then today, an Internet purchase of wireless bluetooth stereo headsets arrived. The things are cool. When I was a kid, the only new invention was a microwave oven. And the phone is a Cingular 8125 which I bought at a local Cingular store. I really had no idea what I could do when I bought it because my old phone simply died and I needed a replacement.

To Barry...
Typically Mike at Rick's can tell and show you EVERYTHING any phone can do. He is TRULY the MOST patient tech guy on Earth. He taught me how to use my new phone without making me feel like a tard.

People who walk around with Bluetooth headsets on are automatic douchebags.

I'm thinking of upgrading my TREO to that new little toy of yours-it seems like it's alot of fun. Ya know, I love my TREO and have learned what it can do so I should probably stick with it, but it just doesn't have enough memory even with the expansion card for documents, music & videos. Verizon already has the new Microsoft version out and Cingular is coming out with their new models in the next few weeks so I guess we will see what new things it has to offer.

It seems like just a few years ago when users paid $1 plus a minute and they were the old brick type phones. Geez, I wonder what the memory was on those?
