Pauline's Happenings

Well, we have been playing with our new iphones. Hubby has really been enjoying his. He is a fidgety person anyway, so the things that you can do with them is great for him.

When we went and got them, I still wasn’t sure if I really wanted one.  I was leaning more to a phone with a qwerty keypad, because those would be great for texting when it comes to my nails.  The iphone, not so easy.  But in the end I got the iphone because there is so much more that you can do with them, all the apps that you can get.  Doesn’t help that when it comes to electronics, I’m kind of like a guy, always wanting newer and more bells and whistles, even if I don’t use them all……..lol

I don’t care for that fact that to make a ringtone, that they have to be songs purchased through itunes and then you pay to cut the part that you want and then there are only certain songs that are allowed for being made into a ringtone.  That is a scam.  I have over 9,000 songs that I have purchased by buying the cds that I should be able to use.  So that annoys me.

I really like the gps that comes with it….the google earth is freaky when it zooms in on your position.  The camera is better they I expected, although a flash would help.  The contact list is kind of cool, even though I had to spend a bit of time cleaning it up since it had things imported from old phone and then doubled by my outlook.  I think I finally got it under control.

It is weird not to have sprint anymore, other then a big bill……lol  I really did like our katana phones, now I need to figure out what to do with them.  I know that shelter use to take them for the 911 function and there are programs out there for donating for GIs….just need to find a legit one.

I like that they have rollover minutes, but I don’t like that they don’t give you an option to start your nights/weekend minutes earlier.  With sprint, you just paid 5-10 each line and it increased it to 7pm, which is great when you live on the west coast and your family is in NY time zone.  So I’m pretty stuck calling on the weekends for any really lengthy conversations.  Plan wise, I do prefer verizon’s, but they don’t have the iphones.  =(

We were planning on getting them next month, but due to sprint teeing us off, got them a little earlier.  We had decided that they would be our anniversary present to each other since we are at that point that we don’t know what we want anymore for presents….lol

Now we need to get covers for them.  I’m stressing on dropping them, especially since att doesn’t offer the repair insurance that has come in handy.  =(  We were also kind of worried about not having headsets for them, because our blue toothes are out of date for the iphone.  Didn’t realize until our friend told us that the headset that came with it, also had a mic……..lol  Which is nice, because when I go for walks I usually call family and was afraid of dropping the phone on the sidewalk.

This is the 1st time we changed carriers (been with sprint since June ’01)  and it was great that we got to keep our numbers.  I really didn’t want to go through that again…so annoying.

Today was kind of lazy day. After being busy yesterday, I was not in the mood for anything.  But at the same time felt restless.  So I did go out and did an errand and then went for a walk.

I was disappointed in this weekend weatherwise.  It could’ve been worse, but after last weekend it was a downer.  It got in the 50s yesterday and low 60s today.  We just really wanted a nice day so we can sit out on our deck/balcony and chill.

Here is hoping for a good workout tomorrow….especially since the treadmill smoked at me Friday….icks……lol
