Thinking about switching carrier and getting a new phone. So sick of AT&T's service. The other day someone left me a voice mail at 9:30 AM but I wasn't notified until 4:30 PM. Never mind that it was a telemarketer, a 7 hour delay is unacceptable and I should switch carriers out of sheer principle.
Then there's my iPhone. I swear, underneath it all, the iPhone is running Windows XP. So slow, freezes up all the time. Sometimes when I'm taking a shit I'll pull out my iPhone to play a game and whatnot. But by the time the game loads I'm ready to wipe. Useless.
But switching carrier and phone is such a pain in the arse. Been with AT&T--amazingly--since 2004. Really don't want to deal with Verizon salesmen trying to convince me I need unlimited texting. And moving over my contacts.. And moving over my music. Well, I guess my music can't really be moved, since Steve Jobs has locked me into iTunes for life. It says a lot when it's easier to get a divorce from you wife/husband than to sever from Apple.
I'll never buy another Apple product again (the iPad was my lame April Fool joke). Apple epitomizes everything that is wrong with society. Their CEO is a megalomaniac. Their software is closed. The company spends half of its budget on marketing, brainwashing us into buying crap we don't need. I'll give it up though, they are brilliant at what they do. To convince the sheep he is special is no small feat.
So that leaves me with HTC, because lets face it, the Chinese are taking over so I might as well jump on board. Although technically some friends will say HTC is Taiwanese but it's all the same to me (I can say this with immunity since I'm not white). The Droid Eris by HTC looks pretty nice, much better than that brick they call DROID by Motorola.
