So, I finally got over my fear of commitment and bought a new cell phone. I had my prior cell for about 4 years, my cell before that for 3 years, and my cell before that for 3 years. I keep them well beyond the point where people make fun of my old beat up cell.
I just picked up the Motorola Droid and I’m pretty happy with it so far. A site that I use regularly that’s almost totally powered by Javascript and AJAX works beautifully with this phone where Windows IE on cells freaks out, Opera Mini does a reasonable job, and the iPhone does a fairly good job. Web browsing is fast, rendered quickly, connects to e-mail, and all sorts of good stuff.
The thing I’m perhaps the most pleased about is that I can tether the phone to my laptop to use it as 16G extra storage OR as a broadband modem – for no extra fee. 1 2 I wouldn’t often use my laptop away from WiFi, but when I do a little Droid powered broadband love is going to be sweet.
Now back to your regularly scheduled nonsense.
