i…got…a smartphone!

after 11 years of using a pay as you go, take way too long to compose a simple text, no data dumb phone, on saturday, august 18th, and 10am, i finally called it quits and got a smartphone! metropcs has been having a promotion. anson’s old plan was $40/month unlimited talk, text, and data. however, they’ve now changed it to $30/month, and if you add a line, it is $25/month each!

we went to a metropcs store right when they opened. i’m glad since there was already a line of people. after talking a little to the representative, i settled on the samsung core prime. it’s a white phone (yikes!) and looks so sleeeek. i didn’t know that all your google contacts with their emails and numbers can just transfer over to your phone (i know, i’m a noob). i spent about an hour updating my contacts.

i didn’t buy a cover at the store since they always grossly overchage ($30???). i got a silver case on ebay that comes with a screen protector and stylist for less than $7. in the mean time, i just put the phone in a ziploc bag in order to protect it 🙂 we will be going back to the store this morning in order to change the number to my old number (i didn’t know my account and pin number from my old phone…the account number was just my phone number and the pin was my usual security number). happy times!

i think i’m one of the last peoples to finally switch to having a smartphone. what do i think? i like it that i can finally participate in line messages not just when i’m at phone, but at real time. i won’t miss people’s app messages that have important info on it. i’ll have a gps, music player, calculator, easy texting, unlimited calling…all on one device. yes, battery life is less than 2 days. getting another charger to put at work, but so far, 5 stars!!!
