I gotta get rid of my Samsung POS flip phone. It eats batteries and it...well, it's not a good phone at all. No, it's an awful phone.


I've been thinking about getting a phone that I can use to show samples of my photos, screen savers, slide shows, etc. I don't wanna buy an iPhone and I won't buy another Samsung no matter what. So today I stopped at the T-mobile store and looked at some Android-based phones. It looks like I might be able to use one of those units. Actually, I'm looking at a Motorola Cliq:

I don't care about the camera and I know I'll have to pay for a full-time web connection ($25/month) and I'll be locked into a 2 year contract with T-mobile (I already am, so who cares?)

I think it can also be used as a cellular modem for my laptop when I'm at the track or on the salt flats. That would let me get rid of that real inconsistent cell modem I used last year. I had to reboot about every 2 hours with it.

One nice thing about it is the qwerty keyboard, not only a touchscreen, although it has that, too.

So.  If ya got any feedback on that, I'd like to hear it.
