Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn,Grew lean while he assailed the seasons
I picked up a new phone the other day, using my new company discount. I’m pretty happy with it; it can go online and do email and instant messaging, play music and movies and even do GPS and mapping. I think it might also work as a phone, but I haven’t actually done that with it yet.
In the past I’ve pooh-poohed these kinds of devices, but now that I actually have one, I really like it. I might even start putting some movies on there to watch on the bus. Earlier today I was reading over lunch and came across a word I didn’t know. The book described some people’s amazement at discovering that their friend had two omphalos instead of the usual one. If I hadn’t been able to look that word up online with my phone, I would have accepted only the face value of that joke and not gotten the real humor.
Verdict: well worth the money. Also I can play solitaire on it.
