Palm Pre!

I found out about the Pre in Jan along with everyone else. I wanted a Pre. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Apple but I do not love their virtual keyboard or soft keyboard whatever it is called. I really wanted an iPhone but I cannot type on it. I would go play at the Apple store and just couldn't get the hang of it.

Do you ever get the "need" to buy a technology device of some sort? Like you can't stop yourself? I got that about a month ago and told my hubby not to buy me an anniversary present, that I'd buy myself one. (I know...but it was my way of letting myself spend a chunck of change.) I bought an iTouch 32 gb. I really enjoy it and the aps but really still can't type on the thing.

Going back to the Pre. Slide out keyboard. YES! But now I have to wait. UGH. I'm not a patient person and I'm not good at waiting.

Dropped my kids off at my mom's for safekeeping on Friday so I could get up early on Sat. Planned to get up whenever and head to Sprint. DH (Dear Hubby) asked if I didn't think there would be long lines? Well crap...now I have to set the clock and get up freaking EARLY! So we did. Got there at 7:45 and I was #13 in line with only 35 available. Whew!

Walked out the door at 9:23 Pre in hand. Sprint employee (who shall remain nameless only because I can't remember his name) told me not to turn it on until my old AT&T phone was disconnected. Crap!

Waiting, waiting, waiting. I have the damed freaking phone in my hand and I can't use it. I'll plug it in to charge. We'll go to breakfast. Got yelled at by hubby because I kept calling his phone to see if my old phone was still working. waiting waiting waiting. We'll go to a closeout store to waste time while we wait for AT&T to disconnect me. Apparently they are not letting me go easily since I've been with them for almost 20 years. (Yes, I was with them when bag phones existed on a plan that was $10 for emergency use only).

Finally on our way home from the closeout store DH suggests I call Sprint. Turns out Nameless Sprint Employee used my husbands name on the port request and AT&T denied it! WHAT??????? Put the right info in and within a few minutes I could use my Pre.

I'll post my thoughts later once I've had a chance to use it.
