Phat Over-The-Wireless-Network Pipes

So I remember when I wanted to get a phone with data. “Man, I need something with a good browser!” I said. “Something that will really do all kinds of internet-ing.”

I’m still completely glad that I have a phone with data now, but man, I rarely, if ever, use the browser. And not because it’s not so great on the Blackberry, either. It’s because that’s just not what I do on my phone. I twitter. I chat with people. That’s about it. Sure, a better browser for being able to see what people are twittering would be nice, but I rarely feel like I’m being held back by my choice of phone. If anything, it’s clear that I backed the right horse. I would hate doing all the texting, tweeting, and chatting on an iPhone. The Blackberry Bold’s keyboard is so, so, so great for that. It works wonderfully.

I also get my school e-mail on there now, so my students can pester me 24/7. So that’s exciting, too. I am totally professional, and totally using data. Totally.

Just, you know, not in the ways I expected. But that’s okay.
