Ok, so, from that failure list, I now have two things done! WooHoo! The second one took much longer than I expected, but it should hopefully be up somewhere soon when I will link to it.

Also, I’m starting to really like my new phone. With my old phone it quickly became apparent to me that it wasn’t going to work out the way I wanted it to, and every time I tried to find a work-around I just couldn’t do it. With this phone I feel like I have so many possibilities and that I’m hardly tapping into the potential of it all (since it’s running a palm OS). I like how clear the screen is too. My only internet related problem with it is that browsing forums sucks. Everything else works much better than it should honestly. IMing from it is fairly easy, if a little slow because of the small keypad and buttons I’m not use to pressing yet.

Also, the weight of the phone is pretty much perfect. I would almost call it bulky, but I just like the heft of it. It feels solid and substantial, where my last phone felt weak from the start, and it just got worse as it began to break. The battery life is just about perfect. I can still check my email just about every hour, check the internet for a couple hours, IM for a bit, and make about an hours worth of phone calls and still have a quarter bar of juice when I go to bed. If I’m ever to go on a trip, or have a day where I know I’m going to be using it a lot I have a spare battery that I can just change out if it gets too low.

I do need a new carrying case though. The one I’m using is designed for a slightly different model of phone, so the shape is a little off. Nonetheless I’m very satisfied with the thing.
