So, I’ve got a few things I will be posting about here in the next few days but I just have to post about this.

I have been with Sprint for over two years now, fulfilled my contractual agreement and put my phone on their seasonal standby so I could look elsewhere since they basically told me they couldn’t do anything for me. After looking at AT&T and their infamous iPhone, I decided to go back to Sprint. AT&T plans are ridiculous compared to what I pay at Sprint. So, I visit the Sprint store in Westminster mall and pick up a Blackberry Curve 8330 or something close (I cant remember the number nor do I care). I use it for a few days, it dies quickly and keeps locking up so I go back and find out I’ve got a bunch of programs running. Great, that’s my fault and let’s see if it gets better. It does, except for the battery part, which dies constantly, and the little sticker on it is red. Doesn’t red mean its been wet? I’ve had the phone for a few days at this point and say screw it – knowing it hasn’t been wet, or even scratched at this point!

Well lately, I’ve been getting these appointment notices or whatever you want to call them where it pops up and says “BBQ and Pool Party” – I don’t even know how to add notices, appointments or whatever else into this phone yet since I don’t use that feature. I let it go but this past Saturday, I get another one, “Jessica’s BBQ Party.” What the hell is this? I don’t know any Jessica’s except one and she surely wasn’t having a BBQ and/or pool party. The only thing that comes to my mind is this phone was refurbished and not completely cleared out before it was sold.

I wish there was a way to find out if this was a refurb that I bought AS NEW but I doubt there is. Guess that’s why I got a $100 mail in rebate, in addition to them trying to unload the older phones so they could bring out the new Curve.

I’ve been told I do nothing but complain so here is a nice review on an awesome application for Blackberry Phones that I recently found.

The application is called Trapster and it’s probably something I should have had a long time ago. Basically, this application for your Blackberry ultilizes your GPS functions on your phone and alerts you of all police radar traps, red light cameras and more. It’s completely ran by users and actually updated quite often. They also offer it for the iPhone, the Google Andriod, and even Garmins and TomTom’s! You can watch a video presentation on how this works here. The way their system is setup is awesome. They give credibility to users who report accurate speed traps and red light cameras. The credibility is given when more then one user reports a cop in that area and you build up your reputation over time.

So those of you who drive quite often or travel a lot, be sure to download this app to your PDA, SmartPhone or GPS today and save yourself from those hefty fines and increased insurance rates! The application is FREE, so you’ve got nothing to lose!

Yeah, I’m a #twitterholic and you love it.

Figured I’d update a few things here…

Comcast is now installed, but I HATE HATE HATE their digital cable menus up here + it’s slow as hell, so I’ll be looking into DirecTV very soon.

Bought a blackberry curve which I’m hating right now since it’s slow as molasses just like my ‘digital’ cable. Also dying very quickly and I haven’t even made any calls except one 2 minute one!

Still don’t have enough time in the day to get everything done…I immediately demand more hours in a day!

Happy Birthday Cari!!! Well, it was the fifth but I didn’t post it before.

Ok, it is now lunch time and back to work. Ciao! derp9t5h3g

So as you can tell, I’m all about blogging and the whole web 2.0 phase just like the rest of the world. Well a good local buddy of mine, Kimo, who runs sites and works with me on some things started a pretty cool new mobile blog. He just got himself a brand new blackberry, same thing my boss, Extreme John got – Basically, one of the phones I’ve been looking at since my Sprint contract is up this month. Kimo is posting pictures and full posts right from his phone which is pretty awesome. I’d love to be able to do that!

All in all, I think I’m going to check out the Sprint Blackberry phones…If any of ya have one, let me know what you like and don’t like – I’m curious as to whats nice and not nice. I know a lot of you have them now – don’t be shy
