Finally, a good cell phone..

I've been with my cell phone provider for over 10 years. I don't know how many phones I've had in that time. Probably 10 or 12. And I've never had one that I actually liked until now.

A few months ago, my cell phone started breaking. I fixed it with my sisters broken phone, but it didn't last long. Got another one from my provider but I couldn't hear anyone. Got yet another one from my provider, but everyone complained about only hearing me breathe. Finally went in to the wireless store and upgraded to a non-free phone. With the contract extension it was about $50. Worth every cent.

This is the best phone I've used. Here are the features I like:

• I can hear clearly.
  
• People can hear me clearly.
• It's very slim, and tiny.
• I can get my email on this phone without paying extra for a data plan. Sending or Reading an email costs me 1 text message.
  
• The music player very usable, and the headphone jack is a standard 3.5mm stereo connection!
  
• It accepts a micro-SD card, and actually came with a 1gb card.
  
• The headset includes a mic that plugs into the the headphone jack, and regular headphones. That means you can use any headphones you want to talk on the phone, and that you can hear your conversation in both ears. Very cool.
• The FM Radio is also very user friendly, and reception is good.
• Bluetooth works great. Connects with my palm, laptop, and headphones no problem. I can run with this in my pocket, and my headphones on. No cords.
• It runs java programs easy peasy. I can copy game .jar files on the SD card and they play great.
  

I should add that it also takes pretty good photos, up to 1600x1200, and even movies with sound. But in 10 years, I think I've taken about 10 photos with my phone. I just don't use it.

Anyways... next time you're ready for an upgrade, check out the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. It's wicked.

Don't buy stuff...

Took this in American Fork Canyon tonight. Jack and I took our tripod up there and played around with our cameras.

Published...kinda...

One of these days one of my photos will be in a book or magazine, and I'll be excited.  But for now, this is pretty exciting for me.

Just a website...Alpine School Districts.  I work for Jolesch photo, and sometimes book events locally that I can't handle myself.  They send me, I take the pics and sometimes collect order forms etc, and then we split the commissions.  Makes for some fun travelling sometimes. 

Anyway, the photo on that page is one of those.  Taken at Gardner hall at the UofU.  I'm standing on a step ladder. :)

Props to Trav for loaning me his wicked and wide lens for this.  

Traffic...

Beep beep.

Beep beep.

PIC: Jack and Friends...

I like to try and think what Jack was thinking here. The more I look at this pic, the more there is to it. April 2003.
