Technology Update
Jul. 24th, 2002 10:18 pmI dropped my cell phone this morning, and the LCD screen blanked out for good. I checked out some cellular phones and calling plans, and just ordered the biggest and most bizarre combination ever. It's a Handspring VisorPhone and it connects to my Handspring Visor PDA. It is a very sophisticated cell phone that also lets me wirelessly connect to the web, and send and receive e-mail and do text messaging on the big PDA screen. It was free with a one year Cingular Wireless Plan. It is a GSM phone with 3 levels of digital encryption, including a SIM card that I can take out and pop into other phones to activate them. I must be a retard because the thought of a big, complex cell phone pleases me, and makes me laugh. I'll try to download some James Bond ringer sounds.
