  * paired up the Moto headset and the new phone.
  : Colleen doesn't like the little keys on the new phone; 
    I may have to keep it.  Could be worse.
  * bed ~11:15; snuggle

So ended up getting a new Samsung A687 phone instead of a go-phone (AT&T prepaid phone) that I could just swap into; it turns out that the go-phones take a different (older) SIM. :P Price turned out to be exactly a wash, and I got a better phone (plus an extension on my contract, of course). I was drawn to it immediately because it was purple, thinking Colleen might like it. But it turns out she doesn't want something with tiny keys, since she has no intension of using text on it.

Fortunately it's one I don't mind keeping.

A major bit of web paperwork I thought I was going to have to deal with at work turned out to have defaulted in the right direction. Would have been nice if they'd actually sent out a memo, though.

So not as bad a day as I was expecting. Pretty good, although the expedition to AT&T and Gryphon (for Alaska picks) left no time for a walk.

Links in the usual place under the cut.

Phone upgrades

[chaoswolf]

I have a dumb-phone, apparently. The GPS barely works, drains half the battery, and when I chat for long periods of time it kills the battery twice as fast as it did on my Razr. Due to this (and yes, I know I got an Ericson last year from you), when would it be possible for me to upgrade?

You're not going to be able to find a phone without GPS these days, and it does drain the battery. You should be eligible for an upgrade (at some extra expense) a year after the last one; I'll try to remember to check.

Right....I'd like a keyboard this time.
