I got myself a new phone this evening. Don't know what came over me. Tough day at work, chilly and damp ride home, and a T-Mobile store pretty much on the way.

I stopped, I dithered hardly at all, and I committed. I probably should BE committed. Anyway, I'm now the proud and ridiculously geeked-out owner of the HTC Android G2.

Pardon me while I have an orgasm squee a bit over the awesome. Those of you who've had iPhones for several years will be eye-rolly and unimpressed, but: it is online all the time OMG. I mean, I knew that, but I've never experienced it.

And it's on a 4G network. So I'm downloading audiobooks right now. In a few minutes I'm going to get some podfic. It's very, very fast. The screen is big and bright. It is beeYOOOOO tiful and I am a happy gadget freak tonight.

Hubby just bought himself an HTC Wildfire. I'm not good with phone models but it's probably not the same as yours. We have so much fun playing with it!

HTC makes great phones. This is my third one. I am having a BLAST figuring it all out. I had my 14 year old nephew come and show me the ropes.

So far, the coolest thing may be where you click on the little microphone, then say what you're looking for, and Google googles it for you. *dies*

It's like magic.

Awww!

Your icon! Made of win!

Your geekery is so endearing - in a wildly alien kind of way. :)

Hee! I'm just so sucked in. It's like falling in love. This little device in the palm of my hand, and the whole world is in there. I was downloading podfic to it tonight while I rode my bike home. Pure glee.

Happy new phone! Does it have a name yet?

[darkemeralds]

Heh. I think I'll probably have to name it Technium.
