Exploring all the new features on my cellphone

by

I was playing around with my cellphone the other day. I had uploaded some pictures and videos that I had taken onto my computer from the cellphone and then I noticed that there was a major software update for my phone. So … I spent some time updating the software and then updating it some more. Luckily everything went ok!

Naturally once everything was updated I decided to explore all of the new features that were now on my cellphone. It’s a Nokia N8 BTW and it just got Symbian Anna. I know there’s yet another update that some people are getting but it’s not in my area yet.

The new maps are very cool so I decided to try them out when I was walking the dog. It was a very cold day so the gps was a little slow calculating my route when I made turns that it didn’t anticipate but otherwise it worked great. I really hadn’t used that feature or the maps for driving before, but I should because, well with this phone I don’t need a separate GPS navigation device.

Now I want to find new apps to download onto my phone. I was looking at an app that’s similar to Instagram earlier today that I might put on my phone. Watch my tweets for some cool pictures soon!

Have you investigated all of the cool features on your smartphone? There’s just so much stuff isn’t there?

I wish I could relax this weekend

by

All I want to do this weekend is relax, but I don’t think there’s any hope of that – not at all. If the weather holds up I have to work in the garden, in particular near the fence that’s about to be replaced on Monday. You see, we have trellises and plants attached to the fence so we have to take things down so that when the old fence comes down on Monday we’ll be ready.

I also have to prepare for a birthday party for my husbands uncle. His family put me in charge of getting the personalized birthday banners so I have to look into that this weekend too.

On top of all that my Cable/Internet/Wireless company – Rogers – is really stressing me out. It’s a long story but they sent me a new phone at the beginning of May and I didn’t like it so I sent it back. They then charged me a cancellation fee of $400 twice, and gave my cellphone number away to someone else (I got it back!) .. but to keep it short, all these things have conspired to make it almost impossible for me for me to get another new phone because they kept telling me that 1. the other phone hasn’t been put back into stock so I can’t get another phone, and 2. now that the other phone has been put back into stock finally (as of May 30th two full weeks after it was returned!) some problem with them giving my cell phone number away two weeks ago is now causing a glitch in my account and not allowing hardware upgrades. DUH!!!!!!!!!! ROGERS SUCKS!

I’m so very stressed tonight and well .. for the last couple of weeks because basically I’ve been on the phone to Rogers for hours and hours in the month of May trying to fix these problems and get the phone that I want … I kind of felt earlier today that I might have a heart attack. Yes that’s how stress out they are making me.

So you can see why I really want to just relax this weekend? I’m going to try my best …

Getting a new Smartphone

by

I’ve had some awful cellphone experiences this week. Last week I was talking with my Cellphone provider and my contract had expired and somehow they managed to talk me into signing up for another three years and since my phone was 6 years old they sent me a free Blackberry.

The Blackberry arrived at my house on Monday, but since I don’t want a data plan I can’t even get the Wifi to work because it’s not free with the Blackberry. So … I’m returning the Blackberry and I guess I’ll be picking out another phone or maybe evening buying another phone elsewhere. I was even looking at this incredible s phone that might suit my needs – it’s an HTC … but I’d probably need a Data plan with it, so I’ll have to check that out.

Right now I’m seriously thinking about turning in the Blackberry and getting a Nokia N8 or a Samsung Colby Pro. I’m leaning more towards the Nokia. Does anyone have experience with either of these phones or have any other suggestions … keep in mind that I likely won’t be getting a data plan with the phone but I’d like to take advantage of being able to use Wifi if an when it’s available.

Time for a new cellphone

by

I think my cell phone is on it’s last legs. It’s about five years old and I just can’t rely on it most of the time any more.

I guess it’s time to start thinking about getting a new cell phone. I’ve been looking around online and as I’m sure you know, a lot has changed with cellphones in five years!

I’ve toyed with the idea of getting an iPhone or maybe even a htc desire hd. Whatever I get I’m sure it’s going to be a smartphone.

Any suggestions?

I don’t use my cellphone a lot so I don’t really need to use it to get online for browsing or even to do a lot of texting but it would be nice for it to have those capabilities if I wanted to use them or get a a package that offed those features.
