My phone is smarter than your phone

I got a Treo 650 today, so far it seems pretty sweet. The sync software
was really easy to get set up.

The only problem was that the moron who sold it to me took out the
instruction book and software CD to get the phone out of the box to
activate it. Then the moron forgot to put the book and CD back *in* the
box. I had to drive back to the Sprint store and get it. Very
annoying, but I got a good deal on the phone and I got Sprint to cut me
a sweet deal on my rate plan.

My phone has been smart for longer than your phone has existed.
<insert smart-ass grin>
Owning the Kyocera 6035 is a pleasure I have been familiar with for
four and a half years... bought my 6035 in July of 2001.
If you are "new" to smart phones, you are going to be pleased with
them.
Enjoy!

Don't blame me. I voted for Squirrel.

pleased

adj 1: experiencing or manifesting pleasure [ant: displeased] 2:
feeling pleasurable satisfaction over something by which you measures
your self-worth; "proud of their child" [syn: proud of(p)] 3:
experiencing pleasure or joy; "happy you are here"; "pleased with the
good news" [syn: happy]

In context, the original poster was measuring his accomplishment by
bragging his acquisition of a "smartphone". I responded in context so
that he could relate, using definition number 2 from the above copy of
the definition of "pleased". You could say, "feeling pleasurable
satisfaction over something by which you measures your self-worth;
"proud of their smartphone" as it were.

Any additional questions?

Hi, Maggie. How are you? I am fine. Listen, I've been thinking about
acquiring one of them there "smart phones," but I'm not sure that it would
be worth the money. Right now I have the VM4500, with the video camera and
all that ****.

Now, bearing in mind that I do not use my phone *or* my computer for any
work-related purposes (i.e., no work-related email or any crap like that),
what would be the benefits, if any, for me in getting one of these things?
I mean, what can you do on them besides get emails from the boss (which I
don't do), send documents (which I also don't do) back and forth from the
office (which I don't have), and keep in touch with clients (which I also
don't have)? Like, can you surf the Web worth a **** on these things?
What else can you do on them? Hmm? OH OH O H, also please bear in mind
that I am not interested in porn on a tiny screen.

Also, tell me about this rate plan of yours. TIA.

I never use my smartphone to view NEXRAD images while kayaking.
I never use my smartphone as a 144Kbps modem attached to my laptop for
surfing Geocaching sites while on travel.
I never blog my web site from my smartphone.
I never download .prc applications for my friends and beam them to
them.
I never VNC into my home machine to see what my weather monitoring
system is up to.
I never compose fully punctuated SMS messages quickly and without
worry about finding the "@" character or the "|" symbol.
I never check my bank account from my smartphone.
I never use httpd.prc to serve my notes and address book to friends,
wirelessly across any platform, Mac, peecee, or whatever.
I never use my smartphone to find address and telephone numbers to
places I want to visit.
Nope... I just never use a smartphone for anything.

Whoa whoa whoa. You can do this? I thought Sprint tried to ding you with
an extra charge for "tethered" use.

Don't blame me. I voted for Russell B <[email protected]>.

Yes you can! And may I be the first to say, "Welcome to the 1990s,"
LOL. (I guess that head injury was worse than I thought, LOL.)

If you are lucky, and live in an area where they still sell it, a
service charge of $5 a month allows you to use your voice minutes for
data calls. Check with them before subscribing... many markets have
"converted" to the Vision protocol and have alienated the data
customers they had. I live in such a market and recently when I
stupidly asked a question of customer service, my account was "brought
up to date" and my data privileges were removed. At least they
refunded the $5 for the last month. (SprintPCS is a pack of wild ass.)
Advice to SprintPCS customers, if you are happy with your service,
DO NOT LET SprintPCS KNOW ABOUT IT!
They will find a way to screw you.

Are you talking about the old Wireless Web add-on? I don't think there's
any way you can buy that if you have a Vision-era phone, which any modern
smartphone will be.

Don't blame me. I voted for Russell B <[email protected]>.
