Gadget Geekdom...

So, I got a new phone yesterday. I was really excited about it. It has so many cool features. It's red like Dorothy's Slippers (yes, the guy sold me on that one LOL). I can get on the internet, take pictures, text and it has a keyboard to make texting much faster... You name it this phone can do it. It's one of the new Android phones, so it has an app for just about everything.

Bring me to today. I’ve been ‘playing’ with my phone for a good portion of the day. Going on facebook and checking my email (yes I can do that from my computer, but it’s more exciting from my phone, and it beeps when I get a new one!). I managed to somehow turn on my music player (it was very loud) and couldn’t get it to go off. Had to enlist the aid of one of the guys in the office to pry off the back cover of the phone to remove the battery to shut the darn thing off. At this point, not only was my pretty little phone red like Dorothy’s slippers, but so was my face! Apparently I am not as tech savvy as I had thought. This must be how my grandmother feels when she calls me asking questions about her computer. =)

Now I’m at the end of the day. About the only thing I know how to do on my phone is send text messages (which takes me a minute or 2 to get to the right screen first), make calls, get on the internet/facebook. Which were all things I could actually do on my previous phone. I’m wondering at the intelligence of my decision to upgrade to this new Android phone and if I will ever learn how to use it properly.

Oh yeah.. and the darn thing keeps beeping because the battery is now dead because I have ‘played’ with it all day.. AArrgghhh
