my NEW addiction LOL

My Blackberry

My Blackberry

So… those of you that know me, know i go thru cellphones like crazy.  If I have a vice, its cellular technology.  well I have others, but lets not go there 😉

The last time I talked about tech on here I was preaching the merits of the iPhone Touch.  I still have my Touch.  I still love my Touch.  BUT I no longer think the iPhone is the “primo” phone out there anymore.  That mantle has been passed to [insert drum roll here…] the Blackberry!!

No I know you’re thinking, there’s a dozen or more Blackberrys, which one?  Well to be honest I don’t really think it matters.  What I have been won over by, wasnt a specific phone, its the Blackberry experience!  No phone does what the BB (Blackberry) does, the way BB does it!  They are the true masters of multi-tasking cell phones.  You know, that “amazing” thing that the Palm Pre says “only” it can do?  Blackberry has been doing it for years LOL  That thing that the iPhone STILL cant do effectively.

Now dont get me wrong, I still think the iPhone is a hot phone.  Just not THE phone.  The Palm Pre is frankly awesome.  But after the cool factor wears off, its just another touch screen phone.  Thats the other thing.  BB has so many options!  There is a Blackberry for everyone!  From flips (Pearle) to pocket sized (Curve) to business workhorses (Bold/Tour) to amazing touchscreens (Storm).

As for me, I chose the Curve.  It’s slim, pocketable (not a word, i know), has the full BB capabilities, and its RED lol  2MP cam, video, voice recording, its an office in your pocket.  Plus the battery life is great.  I use it constantly all day, and have yet to run out of juice.  I recharge it every night and it usually still hase about 1/2 charge left when i plug it in.

Whats real funny is after I got my BB, I started to realize how many people I knew that already had them!  I was like “Why didn’t you guys tell me?” LOL  Now I’ve got my mother, my lil brother and his girlfriend all sold on BB.  Of course now my kid wants one 🙂  I may surprise her after the holiday…

So thats my new addiction.  if you have interesting BB stories or apps or whatever, hit me up!

WordPress for Blackberry

Thought I’d give this app a try, having already used the iPhone version.
Right off the bat I’d have to say the iPhone version is more user friendly mostly due to the larger screen. Its also more visually appealing.
That being said, the Blackberry version is very straight forward and easy to use. Not any harder to compose in that any other BB app. Its a little unintuitive as far as viewing existing posts.
Other than that it seems to be a great tool for blogging on the fly! I recommend this app!

So I’m typing this Post on my iPod touch using WordPress for IPhone. So far it’s a so so experience.

It’s nice being able to post from my bed using my iPod, but the virtual keyboard really isn’t conducive to typing of any decent amount.

Other than that, the app works as advertised. Easy to post or edit posts. What more do you really need?

I recommend this app.

new-apple-16gb-iphoneI love my ipod touch.  Well thats a bit of an under statement.  I am addicted to the gadget.  I play with it all day. (no sick comments lol)  Take it with me everywhere.  Music is probably the least used application on it.  I am totally addicted to the Itunes App store.  I have probably downloaded over 60 apps/games/whatever so far and havent had the ipod a good month yet!  I use the calendar application extensivley.  I have 1102 photos on it and a ton of games.  Periodically I will do app/game/accessory and other ipod related reviews.  That should be fun LOL  Incase you’re wondering why I just didnt get the Iphone, its because I currentlyhave an awesome phone, the Helio Ocean.  I love that phone, plus the plan is a good one.  Way cheaper than the current Iphone plans from AT&T.  So I got the touch.  Also just about everywhere I go has wi-fi so its not inconvienient.  More later…
