An update...

For anyone who cares, an update on my impending smartphone purchase...

Yes, four months later and I am still working with my almost three-year-old LG. I love it! It has been such a friend. And, it's not that I can't part myself from it. I was just feeling like I hadn't collected all the information in the iPhone vs. Blackberry debate. Unlike most everything else in my life, where decisions are made swiftly, this one continues to simmer. However, after engaging with both devices a bit, I'm now leaning towards the iPhone. I think I will learn to use the touchscreen keyboard. Sausage fingers be gone! And, ultimately, I think I would bemoan the lack of internet capability of the Blackberry. What's not to love about a little phone whose internet browser looks exactly the same as my laptop at home? I gotta tell you, too, after watching a friend try to connect to a website- the effort taking almost five minutes- somewhat unsuccessfully, the Blackberry wasn't upselling itself. I don't have that time to be lollygagging, waiting for my information. And those apps. The siren song of the apps. Every single thing that I refer to on the internet (most of which I won't mention here out of embarrassment) can be accessed on the iPhone. What pushed me closer to the edge of decision was, last weekend when I went out of town, I left my laptop at home. No work. All play. Then my friend canceled dinner plans. And the world was my oyster regarding dining and activity options. If I only had my iPhone, I could have been perusing to my heart's content... Rumor has it, Apple will release a new iPhone in June. So I continue to wait, in order to add to my information pile.

And what about that new Treo? $99?
