Y’all Are Right About That Phone Thing

I’m a techie. Have been since the 70’s. But I am not a gadget person – meaning I don’t covet the latest gadgets and gizmos. Technology is a tool, not a toy for me. I’ve got a certain love-hate relationship with technology. I suppose some of you do, too. Love me some cool software, though! Usually I just like to keep my stuff. (Those of you who know me know that I still love mini blinds and Formica. Hated giving up my old “Chiclet” phone a couple years ago.)

Now we have new stuff. New electronic stuff. Lots of new electronic stuff. My honey and I both have lots of new electronic stuff. Actually, I am now the owner of a Blackberry. Didn’t want one. Didn’t plan for one, but here it is.  Along with Mr. unCommon Sense’s new job is a lot of new stuff. We had to change our family cell phone plan from one vendor to another (after probably 20+ years) and therefore, everyone got new phones. Hubby had to get a certain Blackberry model for his job, and they were 2 for 1. Frankly, I didn’t like the phone I have had for the last year and am secretly glad to get a new phone. But change is change for me, and for those of you BB users, you know my feeling right now. I’m a little shocked at what I don’t know about a phone like this. I’m pretty late to this game…but the love is growing at a pretty fast clip. I was excited to pick it up this morning and hear my spiritual Daily Lift on the phone while still in bed . I watched a video someone posted on Facebook. Crazy. It’s Dick Tracy come to reality!

If you have any great tips or suggestions about things I don’t know regarding my BB, please chime in. Would love to hear your ideas.
