Call me. Ward.
So the new phone's here. First, pictures:
Side by side, the new phone and the old phone. That's the new one on the left and the old one on the right.
More comparison shots.
I call this one "phone sex".
So, cool things. First, it's a camera phone. The pictures are small and bad, but it's still hot. Second, it supports the new GSM band and so gets much better reception. Third, bigger screen. Fourth, it's not a flip phone. Fourth, it does polyphonic ring tones, so I can download, say, the theme to Zelda 2 in midi (thanks Bryan) and have it as my ring. And most importantly, it's got Bluetooth wireless and will sync with my calendar and address book on my computer.
It rocks.
The wireless card adapter is in Houston, but the USPS wouldn't deliver it without my signature. Never mind that every other service will just take it to the office. That's just too damn much to ask, apparently. I'll have to wait until I can pick it up tomorrow for hot wireless digital music action.
Wednesday night is Big Ass Beer Night at Little Woodrow's in the village—24 oz. beers for $1.75—and thus a traditional gathering time for many of us at BCM. I'll probably head that way in a little bit. Perhaps I'll have some more entertaining story to post as a result.
