Voice dial and Bluetooth – Do you really need both?
So yes I’m totally consumed with the idea of getting a new phone, and why shouldn’t I be when there are so many new cool ones out there. I’m a technophile, which should totally be obvious since I have a desktop, laptop, two TiVo’s, two DVD players, a point-and-shoot camera, a digital camera, and a Sidekick which does all internet things that my laptop and desktop do up to and including burning a mean hole in my non-existent wallet. Did I mention that Sidekick also has a camera function as well.
Now I could just keep the same phone, boring! Or I could switch plans or cell phone companies and not pay more than $100 for a new phone, but then what would that phone do? Just call people? OMG! What would I do with myself if my phone just dialed numbers?!?!
I’m not kidding what would I do with myself? I mean really, would I notice a difference? When I was living in Boston maybe because I wasn’t driving everywhere and could focus on walking and texting, talking, and IMing all at once, but now… I don’t know. That’s what my reasonable side says anyway.
My technophile side says, you are joking right?!? A phone that just dials, are you insanse, that’s so 1999. You need color, you need camera, you need e-mail because honestly you know you won’t check your e-mail unless it’s hand delivered to you, and you to be able to text people all the time any time.
Okay so maybe I don’t need those things but I want them, and I went them really badly. Did I mention that I also have a Video Ipod and I want a phone that plays music?!? Seriously, I want a phone that plays music, although to be totally honest I would trade the music feature for a Bluetooth capable phone, because hello more gadgets, that would do voice dial.
I don’t want a Razor, everyone has a Razor, plus I stand by what I say that Motorola is just trying to rip you off with those little metal teeth charges that they have.
So this is pretty much has what consumed me for the last few weeks and it’s starting to get worse too! My one year contract started on Feb 21st of last year so it should finish on the 20th, right? Well let’s just say the 21st to be on the safe side, because my last billing day is the 20th. That’s the one thing I do like about T-mobile, they never pro-rated my bill at the start, I hate when companies do that. Anyway that’s 19 days until my contract is up!?!
The big question Cingular, Verizon, or T-mobile, cause Nextel/Sprint is just not an option.
The other question is if your phone had Bluetooth but doesn’t have voice dial is it really a Bluetooth hands-free phone? To me hands-free means you can just say call (insert name) but I guess even then you have to press a button to let the phone know to expect the “call” command. Hmm… So is a phone every truly hands-free?
I also just have to add that it cost me $6.00 to wash my quilt and sheets, is that good or bad? Hmm…
TTYL!
Laterz!
