Fun new gadgets!!!

I’ve been neglecting to blog, mostly because I’ve busy either playing with or getting ready for fun new gadgets 🙂

I won a free Blackberry Storm at work, so now I have 3 phones…go ahead make fun of me now, but I work for a cellphone company (can you guess which one lol)  and my service is free (WOOT!!!!).  So now I have a Blackberry Storm, a Blackberry Curve and an LG Dare.

I was a bit nervous about the Storm to start with, we had a few technical hiccups at launch, but after playing with it on my own for a few days I’ve decided that I really like it.  Its a lot faster than it was at launch (especially if you load the new Beta OS off Crackberry.com) and I like the touchscreen a lot better than I do on my Dare.  The screen resolution is fantastic, I love watching videos on it, and the browser looks great.  My only complaint with it at this point is the battery life.  I am a very, very, very avid user of my phones and my Curve has done really well at lasting a day or two with me being online constantly (surfing, downloading and twittering) and checking my email.  My Storm however maybe makes it a day.  So I’m hoping that I can get an extended battery soon.

I’m also anxiously preparing for the arrival of my Kindle.  For those of you that are not familiar with what a Kindle is, its an electoric wireless reading device from Amazon.  However, whats really cool about it is its ability to utilize the same wireless towers cellphones use to link up to Amazon’s marketplace wherever I am (no additional service fee required) so I can buy a book, magazine or newspaper whenever I desire.  I can also set up subscriptions to newspapers and magazines that will be delivered to my Kindle as they come out.  Its thin, lightweight and very portable and the literature is available for a very discounted price.  I recieved one for Christmas, but they are backordered….I should be recieving mine around the end of February 🙂

Until then I’ve been making a wish list of books to read/order and spending time on http://www.kindleboards.com  a website for kindle owners, lovers and future owners to discuss all things Kindle.  They even have bookclubs 🙂
