Ooh, lucky you!

My husband wanted Blackberries, and since he was buying, that's what we got...

The iPhone looks so damn cool.

Learning the iPhone has a steep enough curve, I couldn't handle that too.

The Samsung Intercept on Virgin Mobile"s plan. The good news- I can get nearly unlimited apps and don't have to limit myself. I understand your excitement, it is a heady brew! And pride at having top of the line.

Ps this tiny keyboard sucks!

My family plan was up, so as long as I had re-up, I figured I'd just do it too. The really handiest thing for me is being able to use e-mail.

Once you get used to it, in a month or so it will become like an extra hand to you. I love the Intercept. Sure you will love your new phone too! Enjoy!

But I don't actually use it.

I turn it on and let somebody in California work on it.

more of a game center/computer than a phone, really.

You got any good apps yet?

I've got like 100.

Just got a new one the other day called "Draw Free".

It's loads of fun. I can also watch my house via on-site video cameras connected wirelessly to my iPhone, no matter where I am. Oh, and I can see my stepdaughter's house down in TX, too...2000 miles away. It's awesome. It's called Night Owl.

I love my iPhone

Hope you have as much fun with yours

Some that actually look pretty useful, like a level, and plumb bob. Also a pitch pipe with the circle of 5ths.
