The Blacker The Berry, The Harder It IS TO PUT IN YOUR FUCKING CONTACTS!

What is up, bitches?! I am back for a hot minute as I had the AWESOME luxury of working from home but since lawyers suck ass and the move of the building isn’t complete (Fucking hippies…I don’t see how shit ever gets done) I have to actually go in tomorrow. FUCKING BULLSHIT! Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed their time away from work and totally enjoyed their weekend. I had a five day weekend (Can I GET A W00T?!) and it went by WAAAAY too fast. Thems the breaks, though.

It is getting late and I wanted to give a follow-up about the fact that I gots me a new phone! You got that right, I finally didn’t get screwed by Verizon with my upgrade (I usually ended up getting a raw deal with either a first gen phone or being forced to upgrade because they FRIED MY ORIGINAL PHONE which has happened twice. Long story short, I got a Blackberry Storm for $49 dollars. There is a rebate of $50 added into that, but because of all the shit I went through with my eNV’s dying because I went through three of them in 18 months and the subsequent bumbling of my account in the times between I got a pretty sweet discount and they cut my bill about $25 despite having the unlimited data plan. I didn’t even ask for that, but something about customer service making amends for a rape in the face really touches me. Here is to hoping they don’t rape me in the face with the Blackberry.

I will give a more in-depth coverage later this week but just know this: I couldn’t transfer my contacts over and that in itself dropped it in my book. I have VCast but I can’t have Get It Now?! With as much as the monthly plan is? Eat a dick! However, I was surprised by just how beautiful this thing is. I mean it puts the iPhone to shame even though it has a lower resolution screen. My widescreen wallpapers look TITS on this bad boy.

However, using the keyboard is a BITCH. At least when you start. Once you figure out you need to type at an angle to avoid fat-fingering you get the hang of it. After about an hour of putting in MY OWN FUCKING CONTACTS I was able to fly through it with minimal hot-keying (where they finish the word for you. I hate that shit) and misspellings.

In short, the BlackBerry Storm is like buying a gun and realizing it doesn’t shoot bullets…but mountain lions. It is cooler than what you expected but you really just want to shoot a motherfucker, not have them mauled. It makes sense when you think about it. Well, I am out for now. Hopefully I can do my blog updates on the bus to avoid staying up late after tomorrow but it aint fucking likely since people around here are DOING IT WRONG. Also, I may give you a rundown of what happened last week over Thanksgiving Eve on Wednesday. Koreatown is a HELL OF A TOWN, I tell you what. Anyone down to go this Friday let me know.

Until then, stay up peeps and I will try to be back tomorrow.
