New Phone

I have had a cell phone for several years now. I was on my parent's plan and through a series of events I never was really able to choose the phone I wanted. I either had to have a free phone, hand me downs, or basically forced to choose one without being able to look at them. The point is I never really took the time to look at phones and decide what I really wanted. Brett and I were eligible for upgrades recently and had taken quite a bit of time researching. Brett told me about the HTC Touch Diamond and I really liked it. I love the interface and all the things I can do on it.

Brett wanted the HTC Touch Pro which is basically the same phone except has a slide out keyboard. I thought I wasn't going to care until I played around with the Pro. Goodness. I fell in love. I just had to have the slide out keyboard! I text message quite a bit, so I had to have it. I felt guilty because it is a very expensive phone, but only $50 more expensive than the Diamond. In the end, I decided to buy the nice phone. What is the good of both of us working with no kids if I can't spend an extra 50 bucks on something I know I will use all the time? Here is a picture of my very nice phone.



We have the simply everything plan with Sprint. It is great. Unlimited text, unlimited data, and 1500 shared minutes between Brett, my mom, and I. (My mom bought a Touch Diamond. She also had never chosen her own phone before. My dad always bought the newest and greatest phones for him and passed his old one onto her) I can check my email, schedule appointments, read my scriptures, browse the internet, and various other things. Love it! =)

Nice. You'll need to tell me how this compares with Brett's old phone. We have that phone now and mine is having issues and we are due for an upgarde so we might have to check those phones out. It looks like you made a good choice!

Brett says these phones are miles and miles and miles better than his old phone. The Diamonds and the Pros have more memory, is smaller, better screen, better software, better everything! One downside is that the battery life is just as bad as his old phone. Charging it every night though, should be enough.
