Treo Amigo

So I have a new toy. After two years of being locked into my cell phone contract and saying "What??" for every other word in my cellular conversations, I've finally earned my right to dump my crappy Nokia 6200 and move on to a Treo 650. Now instead of a mere cell phone, I've now a cell phone/organizer/camera/multimedia device with a keyboard so small, i think I'll have to sharpen my thumbnails to little points to be able to type on it.

What I can do with my new technological best friend:

  • look pretentious with an obnoxiously bright screen and an air of "I'm an important business guy who needs a shiny organizer that can call people."
  • go through an empty calendar and enter in appointments to "do laundry from 8 PM to 10 PM" on a Saturday night.
  • keep cell phone numbers of cute girls I've met 6 years ago and have never dialed (cause they're probably not legitimate numbers), but make me feel studly just because I have them
  • indiscreetly take pictures of attractive strangers and save them in my address book to pretend I know them
  • write blog entries on the train which will require me to ice my thumbs when I get home

*Updated: I've realized In the two weeks I've had this thing, I've received more compliments from males about my phone than I've received compliments from females in two months about anything. I will add on to the list of features: "Higher self esteem."
