A new gadget in my life
by Ranil on May.22, 2008
Being a computer geek and gadget freak I can honestly say I am in love with my new phone. I am now the proud owner of a HTC Touch (aka xv6900 for you Verizon fans). As much as I love it now, it only came after a few days of grueling hacking and flashing of the phone. Verizon in all its infinite wisdom disables a lot of the functionality of the phone so that way it forces you to use their service to transfer files and what not. Despite how much Verizon sucks, and how expensive they are, even if I were to leave them I’d just be stuck with another crappy cellphone company. However, thanks to PPC Geeks I’ve been able to upgrade it to use GPS and restore the Bluetooth functionality as it should be and make buying the phone worthwhile. While I am glad to have a phone again, it’s harder to find ways to avoid phone calls because now I actually have a phone that works. Curses!
But it is sleek and fun to use. I know it’s just a phone, but as our lives become more and more technology dependant and our technologies becoming more convergent, it’s good to know that I can send email wherever I get signal. Out of the box, it’s a decent phone, with a little tweaking it can become a great one.
The weather in Los Angeles has been a bit weird – going from hot to cold in the span of a week. The constant shifting of weather has got me feeling out of sorts. With Memorial Weekend coming up I’ve got a lot of time to recoup and hopefully get myself out of this funk that I am feeling. My brain feels scattered and i’m feeling a sense of listlessness. I try to be more productive, but lately I’ve been falling short. I wish I could stay and chat, but I think I need to be heading out. Till next time folks.
