What do you use your cell phone for?

Uncategorized 5 February 2010 | 3 Comments

For me, my cell phone is the gateway to my online world when I don’t have access to my laptop.

It’s where I check my email, tweet on Twitter, make whrrl stories and text message. I love my phone because my husband hates my computer and he especially hates it when we are watching a movie or tv show together and he hears the clicking of my fingers as I’m talking on Skype, checking my emails or conversing in 140 characters or less on Twitter. He hates it because he knows that I am only half paying attention to whatever tv show or movie we agreed to watch together. I love having a cell phone where I can pretty much do ANYTHING that I can do on the web discreetly and without frustrating anyone.

I’m currently reviewing the Palm Pre Plus by Verizon and I really like it! I decided to go at it without reading the manual which got kinda frustrating kinda quickly because to use the phone there are specific gestures you need to use to go between screens, to minimize screens and to trash screens. I did figure it out on my own, but pulled the manual out afterwards to see what I might be missing.

I found out that there are gestures for zooming, which I needed a few times and would have been nice to know, but other than that, I figured the rest out just by playing with the phone.

I love the large screen. It is very clear.

Adding all of my email accounts was a breeze.

I don’t like the keyboard. I have normal sized lady fingers and I felt cramped using the keyboard and my fingernails aren’t short, but they aren’t long either. I can only imaging how a man would feel.

One thing my daughter noticed was the mirrored back… perfect when taking a picture of yourself with the camera…one reason why I think this phone was built for women. Another reason I think this phone was built with a woman in mind…the sleek, yet curved design…it feels great in the hand!
